the chloroplast - pack 12a Flashcards
label
describe the structure of the thylakoid membranes
a system of interconnected flattened fluid filled sacs
describe the structure of the granum
stack of thylakoids joined to one and other
describe the structure of the thylakoid space
fluid within the thylakoid membrane sacs
describe the structure of the stroma
fluid surrounding thylakoid membranes
function of the thylakoid membranes and granum
proteins, including photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll and electron carriers are embedded in the membrane and are involved in light dependent reactions
function of the thylakoid space
contains enzymes for photolysis
function of the stroma
contains all the enzymes needed to carry out light dependant reactions of photosynthesis
function of the loop of dna
chloroplasts contain genes for some of their proteins
function of the starch grain
stores the product of photosynthesis
function of the inner membrane
contains many transport molecules - membrane proteins which regulate passage of substances in and out. substances; sugars, protein synthesised in cytoplasm of cell but used in cytoplasm, inner and outer membrane, forman envelope
