Answer:

Stomata

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Photosynthesis refers to the process that takes place in green plants and some algae.
  • During the process, water and carbon dioxide are converted to nutrients or organic compounds using energy from sunlight.
  • The process takes place in the chloroplast on the leaves of green plants.
  • The water used during photosynthesis comes from the soil and then transported by xylem tissue to the leaves where the process takes place.
  • Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through the stomata which are the sites for gaseous exchange.
  • Sunlight is trapped by green pigments on the leaves known as chlorophyll.
