Question 4 of 17beginner🧠 RememberVery Short1 mark
Can you name some other parts where you think photosynthesis may occur?
Correct Answer
Photosynthesis occurs in other green parts of the plants besides green leaves. These include green stems, green sepals, and young green branches — any part of the plant that contains chlorophyll/chloroplasts.

For More Understanding
Explanation
The textbook explicitly states that 'Photosynthesis does take place in the green leaves of plants but it does so also in other green parts of the plants.' The key criterion is the presence of chlorophyll/green colour, which indicates the presence of chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs. The context also mentions that 'photosynthesis occurred only in the green parts of the leaves' — reinforcing that green colour (chlorophyll) is the essential requirement.
