The stroma of a plant is the region outside of the thylakoid space. This serves two functions in the both the light-dependent and light-independent (Calvin cycle) reactions. In the light-dependent reactions, the H+ ions that build up within the thylakoid begin to form a concentration gradient between the thylakoid and the stroma. As a result, the H+ ions need to diffuse into the stroma. In order to do this, the ions must travel through an enzyme known as ATP synthase. Once it does, the movement of H+ ions through ATP synthase into the stroma provides energy for ADP to become ATP. The ATP formed is an energy source to power the Calvin cycle. Now, the light-independent (Calvin cycle) reactions occur in the stroma.

What is the function of stroma?
A stroma is the connective, part of a cell, organ or tissue. The function of a stroma is to hold the cell, organ, or tissue together and help it maintain form.
What are the spaces between the grana in chloroplast called?
They are called stroma.
What is an organelle?
An organelle is a structure that is found within a cell and serves a specific function.
Does granum or stroma contain pigments?
yes the granum does but not the stroma.
Does ATP contain stroma?
No , stroma contains ATP .

What is the structure of chloroplasts?
It consists of grana..thylakoid..stroma..outer and inner membrane..
What is the function of the stroma in chloroplasts?
The stroma is the fluid-filled space inside chloroplasts. Its main function is to house the enzymes and molecules required for the photosynthetic reactions to occur, such as the Calvin cycle. Additionally, the stroma plays a role in the storage and synthesis of various macromolecules, including starch and lipids.
What is the region outside the chloroplast?
space inside sack and some other stuff jeez these losers are idiots losers
Does the principle of complementarity of structures and function means that the structure of a part reflects its fuction?
Function reflects structure and structure determines function
Were does the Calvin cycle take place in?
The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts.
Where in the chloroplast is sugar made?
In the stroma
What structure does the chloroplast contain that is responsible for photosynthesis?
Chlorophylls, in the thylakoid membranes, and the stroma of chloroplasts.
Differentiate between structure and function?
daffirentiate structure and function
What are the spaces between the grana in chloroplast called?
They are called stroma.
Sugars are built where?
In the stroma
