Final answer:

The cells of the mesophyll contain chloroplasts in which photosynthesis occurs in plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cells of the mesophyll contain chloroplasts.

This is where photosynthesis occurs in plants.

The mesophyll is sandwiched between the upper and lower epidermis of the leaf, and it consists of two layers: the upper palisade layer and the lower spongy layer.
