Biology Question on Cell: the unit of life
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is located in
A
Grana
B
Pyrenoid
C
Stroma
D
both (1) and (3)
Answer
Grana
Explanation
Solution
Chlorophyll molecules are primarily found in the thylakoid membranes, which are organized into stacks called grana within chloroplasts. These pigments are essential for capturing light energy during the photosynthesis process. The stroma, on the other hand, contains enzymes and other molecules involved in the synthesis of sugars through the Calvin cycle, which is driven by the energy captured by chlorophyll in the grana.
So, the correct option is (A): grana
