Question
Chapter 5, Problem 4PIT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The relationship among chloroplast, grana, stroma, thylakoids, photosystems, and chlorophyll via a concept map.
Concept introduction:
Chloroplasts are referred as “the site of photosynthesis”. These are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place in a plant cell. It consists of grana and stroma. Grana are the region where the light reaction takes place, whereas stroma is the region where the dark reaction of photosynthesis takes place.
