Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to obtain energy from light.
Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around pigment protein complexes called photosystems which are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In these complexes, chlorophyll serves two primary functions. The function of the vast majority of chlorophyll up to several hundred molecules per photosystem is to absorb light and transfer that light energy by resonance energy transfer to a specific chlorophyll pair in the reaction center of the photosystems. Because of chlorophyll's selectivity regarding the wavelength of light it absorbs, areas of a leaf containing the molecule will appear green
The sunlight/energy is collected by chloroplasts.
The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of chloroplasts.
The Chloroplast or Chlorophyl of the plant.
Light- independent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts of a cell.
Photosynthesis in flowers takes place primarily in the chloroplasts of the leaf cells. Flower petals do not typically have chloroplasts, so they are not directly involved in photosynthesis. The leaves of the plant are the main site for photosynthesis to occur in flowers.
Yes - photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Specifically, the light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts. The chloroplasts contains the pigment called chlorophyll where it receives sunlight.
In leaves, photosynthesis occurs usually in chloroplasts of mesophyll cells.
The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of chloroplasts.
