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.
No, photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight.
Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to occur.
Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis, with a large surface area and thin structure to maximize sunlight absorption. Their internal structure contains chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs, and a network of veins that transport water and nutrients throughout the leaf. Additionally, leaves have stomata to allow for gas exchange.
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and does not occur in animals.
The primary site of photosynthesis in plants is the chloroplasts. These organelles contain chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs light energy needed for the process of photosynthesis to occur. Within the chloroplasts, photosynthesis takes place in the thylakoid membranes where light reactions occur and in the stroma where the Calvin cycle (dark reactions) take place.
Typically on the leaves, although some plants have modifications that allow for photosynthesis in the stem.

The stoma
stomata
There are tiny pores on the leaf called stomata which allow gases in and out.

No, photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight.
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.
