Study Notes
Chloroplast Location and Structure
- Chloroplasts are primarily located in mesophyll cells, the inner leaf tissue.
- A typical mesophyll cell contains 30-40 chloroplasts.
- Chlorophyll is embedded within the thylakoid membranes, which are interconnected sacs inside the chloroplast.
- Thylakoids can be organized into stacks called grana.
- Chloroplasts also contain stroma, a thick fluid.
