Parts of Chloroplast
1. Outer membrane
2. Inner membrane
3. Stroma
4. Thylakoids
5. Granum
Functions
1. Outer membrane is absorbent to small organic molecules.
2. Inner membrane is less absorbent and is studded with transport proteins.
3. Stroma is the fluid of the chloroplast that surrounds the thylakoid membrane and it is involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water.
4. Thylakoid is a flat membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy to chemical energy.
5. Granum is a stacked thylakoid membrane in the chloroplast. It functions in the light reactions of photosynthesis.
Guide questions
1. Chloroplast is an organelle that contains the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll that captures sunlight and converts it into useful energy, thereby, releasing oxygen from water.
2. It comes down to the little pigment called Chlorophyll, they absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.
Glad I could help!
