A granum is a stack of thylakoid discs. "Grana" is Latin for "stacks of coins". Grana are connected by intergrana or stroma thylakoids, which join granum stacks together as a single functional compartment.

What pigment is in thylakoids?
it is the group of 200-300 accessory photosynthetic pigment that are attached to the thylakoid and pass the light energy from one another until it reaches the reaction center. it is conical in shape for it has to absorb the maximum amount of light energy entering and it is embedded in the membrane( thylakoid).
What are closely stacked flattened sacks in a cell?
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.
What is the internal membranes found in chloroplast called?
Chloroplasts contain saclike photosynthetic membranes called thylakoids. The region outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts is called the stroma.
How many islands can one underwater volcano form?
One volcano can form one island normally. If it collapses into a caldera it could form a group of three or four.
What are the parts of the chloroplast and its function?
Chloroplasts -are structures that houses the pigments and are responsible for Photosynthesis.Lamella- is an extension of a thylakoid within a chloroplast, linking a thylakoid within one granum to one in another.Thylakoid- is a disk-shaped structure wherein light is captured.Granum- a stack of thylakoidsLumen- is the inside of a thylakoid membraneStroma- is the aqueous fluid inside a chloroplastInnermembrane Space- also known as IMS is the region between the inner membrane and the outer membrane of a chloroplastOuter Memmbrane- is freely permeable to molecules.Inner Membrane- contains many transporters
What do Chloroplast contain dislike membranous sacs arranged in stacks are called what?
First off, the wording of the question was confusing and it took me a while to figure it out. haa. But.. The disk-like membranous sacs arranged in stacks are called Grana, plural form of Granum. The grana are arranged in columns and contain individual "pancake resemblance" discs called Thylakoids.
How are the thylakoid sack of one granum interconnected with another thylakoid sack of another granum?
there is no other between the genus speacies of one kind of molecullar system

Why is it better to have several small thylakoids stacked into one granum than to have one large thylakoid that occupies the same volume?
Well, since the thylakoid is the site in which the light dependent reactions occur, and ATP and NADPH are produced for the Calvin cycle it would be better to have stacks of them instead of one large thylakoid. Stacks of thylakoid would ensure more ATP and NADPH to be produced which in turn will mean more carbon fixation.
What are the parts of the thylakoid membranes arranged in stacks called?
One stack is a granum. Two or more stacks are called grana.
Where does chlorophyll exists in plants?
Cells contain chloroplast which is analogous to the mitochondria in animal cells. Within these chloroplast are structures called thylakoids. these thylakoids contain pigments which are used to get the light from the sun involved in photosynthesis. In most green plants the primary pigment is one form or another of chlorophyll.
Are produced by reactions that take place in the thylakoids and are consumed by reactions in the stroma?
ATP and NADPH are produced by reactions in the thylakoids and are consumed by reactions in the stroma. The reason is because the reaction that takes place in the thylakoid is the light reaction and the one that takes place in the stroma is the light-independent reaction.

Chloroplasts contain saclike photosynthetic membranes called thylakoids. The region outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts is called the stroma.
Why are thylakoids green?
Well thylakoids organize chloraphyll and other pigments within the membrane of the thylakoid. Chloraphyll is a green pigment so that affects the pigment of the thylakoid. I hope that helps .
What organelle plays the most important role in photosynthesis?
The structure called grana or granum (singular form) plays an important role in the process of photosynthesis . It has the pigments required for the photosynthesis to occur and also certain enzymes and the membrane structure also provides a good oppurtunity to carry
How many bones form the pelvis?
