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.

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
