The structure that photosynthesis takes place in is called a chloroplast in plants. However, not all photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast. Photosynthetic bacteria for example have no chloroplast, and yet they photosynthesize. Another possible answer to this could be chlorophyll, but again there are differences; different groups of organisms use different types of chlorophyll to facilitate photosynthesis. Thus, I think that the only true answer to this question is that the Sun is THE structure that allows photosynthesis to occur. However, in modern times even this is technically incorrect, as photosynthesis can be stimulated by any suitable light source giving off light at the proper wavelength, for example; a lightbulb. So perhaps the only correct answer is that light itself is what allows photosynthesis to occur.

What organelle plays the most important role in photosynthesis?
The structure called grana or granum (singular form) plays an important role in the process of photosynthesis . It has the pigments required for the photosynthesis to occur and also certain enzymes and the membrane structure also provides a good oppurtunity to carry
Where does photosynthesis usually occur in epidermis?
The epidermis of most plants is made of transparent cells that allow light into the mesophyll cells below them, which contain chloroplasts and are the site of photosynthesis. Additionally, the epidermis contains stomata, which are pores that allow for the exchange of gases with the atmosphere. This lets the plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, as well as allowing for transpiration (evaporation), which ultimately helps to move water into leaves. Waters is also needed for photosynthesis.
In which part of the moss does photosynthesis occur?
photosynthesis occurs in the gametophyte
Where in the leaf does photosynthesis occur?
CHLOROPLAST
How much light do herbs need for photosynthesis and growth to occur?
. How much light (sunlight) do herbs need for photosynthesis and growth to occur?
Where on the plant does photosynthesis occur?
Typically on the leaves, although some plants have modifications that allow for photosynthesis in the stem.
Where on plants does photosynthesis occur?
Typically on the leaves, although some plants have modifications that allow for photosynthesis in the stem.
Which structure in leaves allow the gaseous reactants and products of photosynthesis to move in and out?
The stoma
What structure in leaves allow the gaseous reactants and products of photosynthesis to move in and out?
stomata
What is the function of water in a leaf?
To support the leaf but more importantly to allow photosynthesis to occur :)
In which cell structure does photosynthesis occur?
it occurs in the chloroplast
How does carbon dioxide get in to the leaves so photosynthesis can occur?
There are tiny pores on the leaf called stomata which allow gases in and out.
What thing have to happen for photosynthesis to occur?
What is needed to occur is Water, Carbon Dioxide, chorophyll, sunlight for the Photosynthesis to occur.
Where does The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells.?
The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.
Why does photosynthesis occur in leaves?
Photosynthesis needs sunlight to occur. Therefore photosynthesis does not occur in the roots because they do not receive any sunlight. The leaves are the parts of the plant most exposed to the light.
What is photosynthesis in what major organelle does it occur in?
Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.
What organelle plays the most important role in photosynthesis?
The structure called grana or granum (singular form) plays an important role in the process of photosynthesis . It has the pigments required for the photosynthesis to occur and also certain enzymes and the membrane structure also provides a good oppurtunity to carry
