In a chloroplast, the stacks of membranous sacs are called thylakoid membranes. Grana is the term used to refer to the stacks of thylakoids. It is in this internal part of the chloroplast where photosynthesis occurs.

What contains inner membranes arranged in stacks of membranous sacs called grana in a cell?

Chloroplasts contain inner membranes arranged in stacks of membranous sacs called grana in a cell. Grana are where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur, with the pigment chlorophyll capturing and converting light energy into chemical energy.


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.


What is the name of the cell organelle that contains stroma and stacks of thylakoids?

The cell organelle you are referring to is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells and contain stroma (fluid-filled region) and stacks of thylakoids (membranous sacs where photosynthesis occurs).


Which is the internal membrane of the chloroplast that is organized into flattened membranous sacs?

The internal membrane of the chloroplast that is organized into flattened membranous sacs is called the thylakoid membrane. These membranes contain chlorophyll and other pigments involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.


Are membranous sacs and chloroplast the same thing?

No, they are not. "Membranous sac" is a descriptive term that can refer to a number of different structures, whereas a chloroplast is a clearly defined organelle with a clearly defined function (photosynthesis) There are membranous sacs found inside chloroplasts that are called thylakoids, which form the grana (singular "granum"). The thylakoid membranes contain chlorophyll and other pigments to trap energy from incoming light.


What are the chlorophyll containing bodies in the chloroplast?

The chlorophyll-containing bodies in the chloroplast are called thylakoids. Thylakoids are membranous sacs that contain chlorophyll pigments and other components necessary for photosynthesis. They are stacked on top of each other in columns called grana.


Where is chlorophyll found found in the chloroplast?

the thylakoids


What are the individual sacs formed by the inner membrane called?

The individual sacs formed by the inner membrane of a mitochondrion are called cristae. These structures help increase the surface area inside the mitochondria for energy production processes like cellular respiration.


The stack of sac-like membranous structures located inside the chloroplast are called?

Sacs are called thylakoids.Stacks are called grana.


Flattened sacs in the chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll?

These are thylakoids, which are the structures within the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur. Thylakoids are interconnected and form stacks called grana. Within the thylakoid membranes, chlorophyll molecules capture light energy to drive the photosynthetic process.


What flattened membranous sacs that package a secretion?

Golgi apparatus (complex)


What is flattened membranous sacs that package a secretion?

The flattened membranous sacs that package a secretion are called Golgi apparatus or Golgi bodies. They are responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for transportation within the cell or for secretion outside of the cell.
