    Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts located in the upper surface of leaves. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Glucose is the food that plants produce and use to grow, and oxygen is released as a byproduct important for animal life.

    Where does photosynthesis happen?


    Plant cells in the upper surface of leaves have chloroplasts
    which contain the green pigment called chlorophyll.
    chlorophyll

    carbon dioxide
    (from the air)
    glucose
    water
    (from the soil)
    oxygen

    It is chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy from the


    Sun, that enables plants to carry out photosynthesis.
