Required Answer:
⟶ Plastids are the cell organelles present only in plant cells. They contain pigments.
Chloroplast
- It contains chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments. These pigments are responsible for trapping light energy which is necessary for photosynthesis.
- In mesophyll cells of the leaves in green plants, the majority of chloroplasts are found.
Shape - oval, lens-shaped, spherical, discoid.
- They are double membrane-bound. And the inner membrane is less permeable.
- Storma - The space limited by the inner membrane of the chloroplast.
- Thylakoid - Many numbers of organised flattened membranous sacs.
- Thylakoids are arranged in stacks like piles of coins called grana (Singular is granum).
- Stoma Lamella - Flat membranous tubules that connect thylakoids.
