structure and function of chloroplast
what is the function of grana
stack of thylakoid membranes, necessary for the formation of atp
what is the function of starch grain
stores carbohydrates the product of photosynthesis
what is the function of ribosomes
used for protein synthesis
what is the function of chloroplast envelope
double membrane allow the passage of glucose, o2, co2 and some ions
what is the function of lipid droplets
energy store made from the sugars produced in photosynthesis
describe the structure of a chloroplast
made up of an envelope, thylakoid membranes, grana, stroma, thylakoid lumen, starch grain, lipid droplets and ribosomes.
what is the function of stroma
matrix of stroma and site of light independent reaction
what is the function of thylakoid lumen
needed for the accumulation of H+ used in the production of atp
what is the function of thylakoid membranes
site of light dependent reactions, contains pigments
