What occurs during photosynthesis, and in which organelle does it take place?

• An animal creates its own food by absorbing carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight in chloroplasts.

• A plant absorbs water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplast.

• A virus absorbs water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplast.

• A bacteria absorbs water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplast.
