Photosynthesis: Site of the LIR Flashcards
1
Q
where does the LIR take place?
A
in the stroma of the chloroplast molecule
2
Q
what contains all of the enzymes needed to carry out the LIR?
A
the fluid of the stroma
3
Q
what allows a chemical environment with a high concentration of enzymes and substrates, to be maintained within it?
A
the stromal fluid because it is membrane-bound in the chloroplast and separates itself from the cytoplasm
4
Q
why can the products of the LDR in the grana readily diffuse into the stroma?
A
the stroma fluid surrounds the grana
5
Q
what 2 structures does the stroma contain that allows the quick and efficient manufacture of proteins involved in the LIR?
A
- DNA
2. ribosomes
