Thylakoids are the membrane bound specialized structures in chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur. This is important as the light-dependent reactions are responsible for utilizing solar energy to to oxidize water and create energy storing ATP and NADPH. In order to maximize the efficiency of these reactions and photosynthesize as much as possible, thylakoids usually occur in large stacks called grana that reside inside the thick fluid stroma of the chloroplasts.
Each stack of disks within the chloroplast is called a granum (the plural being grana) and it is within these that chlorophyll traps light energy.
Grana (sing. granum)
The most relevant term in reference to chloroplasts would be thylakoids, the flattened membranous sacs within chloroplasts.
They are called grana.Light reaction takes place there.
In a chloroplast, the chlorophyll is found in structures called thylakoids. The main function of a chlorophyll is to absorb light energy from sun, which is used in photosynthesis.
-grana (stacks of thylakoids) -thylakoids
In a plant cell, these are the thylakoid stacks located in the chloroplast. One stack is called a granum. They aid in the photosynthesis process.
The most relevant term in reference to chloroplasts would be thylakoids, the flattened membranous sacs within chloroplasts.
The space between the inner chloroplast membrane and the grana is called the stroma.
The double membrane of chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis. This double membrane is called the chloroplast envelope.
stroma
They are called grana.Light reaction takes place there.
ability of a material to maintain integrity when it s flattened is called ductility.Metals are ductile material.
The space between the inner chloroplast membrane and the grana is called the stroma.

the thylakoids
The chloroplast has individual sacs called thylakoids, which are arranged in stacks called the grana
They are called stroma.
In a chloroplast, the chlorophyll is found in structures called thylakoids. The main function of a chlorophyll is to absorb light energy from sun, which is used in photosynthesis.
