Photosynthesis is the process by which the energy of sunlight is absorbed and used to power the formation of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water. Although primarily associated with green plants, photosynthesis also occurs in algae and a variety of bacteria. This process ultimately supplies the energy required by all living organisms for their continued survival. Photosynthesis takes place in many of the cells of the leaves. Inside these cells are tiny lens-shaped structures called chloroplasts? Photosynthesis takes place in these chloroplasts. Each chloroplast consists of green granas within a colorle
