which statement best describes where photosynthesis occurs? *
inside the mitochondria of green plants
only in the roots of plants
in the chloroplasts of plant and some other cells
in plant cells only
in all cells of plants and animals
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protists use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll - containing chloroplasts. Mitochondria are for cellular respiration. Roots don't perform photosynthesis as they lack chloroplasts. Some non - plant cells like certain algae also have chloroplasts and can photosynthesize. Animals don't have chloroplasts and can't photosynthesize.
