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.

How are the thylakoid sacks of one granum interconnected?

The thylakoid sacks within one granum are interconnected through thin membrane structures called stromal lamellae. These connect adjacent thylakoids and allow for the exchange of materials such as ions and electrons during photosynthesis, providing functional coordination within the granum.


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.

The flat discs found in chloroplasts are called?

The flat discs found in chloroplasts are called thylakoids. Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments that contain chlorophyll and other pigments, where photosynthesis takes place. Multiple thylakoids stack on top of one another to form grana.


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.


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.


What are the parts of the thylakoid membranes arranged in stacks called?

One stack is a granum. Two or more stacks are called grana.


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 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.


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.


What pigment is in thylakoids?

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment found in thylakoid membranes of plant cells. It absorbs light energy and plays a key role in photosynthesis by capturing sunlight for the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
