Flashcards
Chloroplast function
Chloroplast function
Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy (sugars).
Thylakoid structure
Thylakoid structure
Thylakoids are flattened sacs within the chloroplast, piled up like pancakes. Light reactions happen here.
Stroma location
Stroma location
The stroma is the fluid-filled space inside the chloroplast, surrounding the thylakoids.
