Structure of Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts, like mitochondria, are oval-shaped and have two membranes: an outer membrane, which forms the external surface of the chloroplast, and an inner membrane that lies just beneath. Between the outer and inner membrane is a thin intermembrane space about 10-20 nanometers wide. The space within the inner membrane is called the stroma. While the inner membranes of mitochondria have many folds called cristae to absorb surface area, the inner membranes of chloroplasts are smooth. Instead, chloroplasts have many small disc-shaped sacs called thylakoids within their stroma.

Structure of Chloroplasts. Chloroplasts can be found in the cells of the mesophyll in plant leaves. ... The chloroplast has an inner and outer membrane with an empty intermediate space in between. Inside the chloroplast are stacks of thylakoids, called grana, as well as stroma, the dense fluid inside of thechloroplast.
sorry i took it from another website but not copying her
