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
