Question

Structure of chloroplasts and their location in a leaf

Answer 1

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 the chloroplast.

The epidermis is a protective layer of cells and contains no chloroplasts. The palisade layer contains the most chloroplasts as it is near the top of the leaf. The chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane similar to the double membrane found within a mitochondrion. Within the chloroplast is a third membrane that forms stacked, disc-shaped structures called thylakoids. ... The thylakoid membrane encloses an internal space called the thylakoid lumen or space.
