Which would enable you to study the membranes of a chloroplast?

It would be a light microscope. Or according to my sources.


Where speacifically is the light pigment chlorophyll found inside chloroplast?

They are in grana. Also fond in thylakoid membranes


What parts of chloroplast conversion of light energy to chemical energy?

Chlorophyll pigments do that.They are in thylakoid membranes.


Photosynthesis occurs in the what?

photosynthesis occurs in plants in the presence of light and chlorophyll. plants have specific organelles called as chloroplast, in which light is trapped on the membranes of thylakoids(the coins like structures within the chloroplast)


Where do light dependent reactions occur in photosynthesis?

Light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. The products (ATP and NADPH) are used in the second stage of photosynthesis, which is called the Calvin Cycle. (Oxygen is given off as a "waste" product - lucky for us!)


Where is the chlorophyll located in the chloroplast?

In the Thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast


Where is chlorophyll in a plant found?

inside of the chloroplast


What do the chloroplast do in photosynthesis?

The chloroplast is where photosynthesis occurs. There are structures inside the chloroplast called thylakoids. These thylakoids are membranes with special proteins on them that carry out the light reactions of photosynthesis. These membranes are stacked (these stacks are called grana) in order to increase their surface area for the light reactions. The light reactions are responsible for producing NADPH and ATP which will be used for the Calvin cycle. Between the membranes of the chloroplasts and the thylakoid membrane lies the stroma. Here is where the Calvin cycle takes place. It is responsible for producing glucose from a series of chemical reactions. Essentially, the chloroplast is responsible for carrying out photosynthesis which converts light energy into usable chemical energy for most life on Earth.


How does light and dark reactions takes place?

The light dependent reaction occurs in the chloroplast. In the light dependent reaction, chlorophyll pigments absorb solar energy. This energy is then converted into a chemical form (not glucose). The water molecule is split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. The dark reaction or the carbon fixation period occurs in the fluid matrix or stroma of chloroplast. The hydrogen product from the first reaction is combined with the carbon dioxide molecules to makes sugars. This results in the C3 or C4 cycle.
