Step 1

The process by which plants convert carbon dioxide, water, and daylight into oxygen and sugar-based energy is known as photosynthesis.

Location: Chloroplasts, which are found in the mesophyll of the leaves, are where photosynthesis occurs. The chlorophyll in the thylakoids, which are located inside the chloroplast, absorbs the different colours of light to produce energy.
