Question

Leaves appear green because they reflect green color from the light spectrum. The part in the leaf that is responsible for the reflection is
A) Inner membrane of Chloroplast
B) Thylakoid space
C) Thylakoid membrane
D) Stroma

Answer 1

In the stroma, the thylakoid system is suspended. A series of membrane sacs called thylakoids is the thylakoid system.

Complete Answer:
The location of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells is chloroplasts. They are found in cells such as algae and plant cells that are photosynthetic. Bacterial cells and animal cells do not contain chloroplasts.

Now, let us find the solution from the options-
-The chloroplast's inner membrane forms a barrier with the stroma. This influences the movement of fluids into and out of the chloroplast. In addition to regulatory function, the inner chloroplast membrane synthesizes fatty acids, fats and carotenoids. Thus, option A is not the correct option.
- The space on the interior of the thylakoid is thylakoid space. In the chloroplast in plant cells, a thylakoid is a membrane-bound surface. Thus, option B is not the correct option.
- Chloroplasts are green as they comprise in their thylakoid membranes the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a red and blue light absorbing pigment. Plants are also green, since green light is transmitted by chlorophyll.
- Stroma is a colorless, aqueous substance that is high in protein and is found in the chloroplast inner membrane. The space is named the stroma beyond the thylakoid space. Chloroplast DNA, ribosomes are located circulating around the stroma, along with the thylakoid system, starch granules and several proteins. Thus, option D is not the correct option.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) Thylakoid membrane.

Note: A single, contiguous aqueous compartment named the thylakoid lumen is surrounded by the thylakoid membrane. These are light absorption and ATP synthesis sites and include several proteins, even those that are involved in the transport chain of electrons.
