Solution

Photosynthesis takes place in this part:
Some green plant components, such as broccoli blossom and fruits like papaya and tender coconut, do not undergo photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves of plants prepare their food by using water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunshine.
The chlorophyll in the thylakoids, which are located inside the chloroplast, absorbs the various colors of light to produce energy.
Thus, photosynthesis occurs in leaves and not in other green parts.
