Solution

Photosynthesis:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their own food with the help of water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of a plant cell.
Chloroplasts are a double-membrane bound cell organelle that consists of two regions- stroma and grana.
Stroma is the ground substance or matrix present in the chloroplast whereas grana is a stack-like structure present in it.
Chloroplast contains a green pigment called chlorophyll due to which leaves appear green in colour.
Final answer:
The chloroplast is the cell organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
