Answer:

The Plant's Leaves

What is Photosynthesis?

The complex process by which carbon dioxide, water, and certain inorganic salts are converted in carbohydrates by green plants, algae, and certain bacteria, using energy from the sun and chlorophyll.

Leaving leaves to be the answer:

  • The leaves are the primary food producers in most plants.
  • They use chlorophyll in the leaf cells to catch the sun's energy.
  • In the process of photosynthesis, chlorophyll captures and bundles the energy from the sun's light.
  • Leaves have a broad surface area to catch as much sunlight as possible.
