Question

Explain the structure of Chloroplast.

Answer 1

Chloroplasts are organelles located in a plant which help plants absorb sunlight and complete the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts structures include: membrane envelope, thylakoid membrane, grana, stroma, and chlorophyll.

Answer 2

Chloroplast Structure:

• In plants, chloroplasts are organelles found in cells  where photosynthesis takes place.
• Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane that separates the inner parts of the organelle from the intracellular environment.
• Within the chloroplast, another membrane forms disc-shaped structures known as thylakoids (which forms the thylakoid system) within which the pigments (chlorophyll) are located.
• Stack of Thylakoid is known as Granum.
• The colorless fluid surrounding the granum is called Stroma.
