Chapter 5, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To define and arrange:
The terms “chloroplast, thylakoid membrane, photosystem, reaction center, and granum” from smallest to largest.
Concept introduction:
The process of photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplast of the plant cells. This is the reason chloroplasts are referred as “kitchen of the plant cell”. Chloroplast contains grana and stroma. Grana are the place where the light reaction takes place, whereas stroma is the place where the dark reaction of photosynthesis takes place.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements incorrectly describes the structure of a chloroplast?
A chloroplast has both an outer membrane and an inner membrane, often separated by a narrow intermembrane space.
The inner membrane of the chloroplast encloses the stoma, a dense fluid filled with enzymes needed for photosynthesis.
A chloroplast contains thylakoids, which are flat, saclike structures suspended in the stroma.
Thylakoids of a chloroplast are arranged into stacks called grana.
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion
Breifly explain how a chloroplast structural protein is built, modified, and transported to the chloroplast. Make sure to mention the following organelles or cell parts in your answer: chloroplast, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, nucleus, ribosome,

- All of the following membranes or compartments can be found in a typical eukaryotic chloroplast, with the exception of: the outer chloroplast membrane the stroma the inner chloroplast membrane the matrix the thylakoid membranearrow_forwardChloroplasts are double membrane organelles with a smooth outer membrane and an inner membrane that is folded into disc-shaped sacs called the thylakoid. Color and label the outer membrane light green U. Color and label the inner membrane brown U. Thylakoids contain chlorophyll and other pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown) and are found in stacks called granum (grana, plural.) Color and label the thylakoids dark green O, then highlight the entire stack of granum with yellow U. These stacks are connected to other stacks by channels called lamellae. Color and label the lamella orange. Grana are surrounded by a gel-like material called stroma. Color and label the stroma blue. 11. How many membranes surround a chloroplast? 12.
