8.Cell: The Unit of Life
easy
Explain structure of granum.
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
$\Rightarrow$ Thylakoids are arranged in stacks like the piles of coins called grana (singular: granum) or the intergranal thylakoids.
$\Rightarrow$ There are flat membranous tubules called the stroma lamellae connecting the thylakoids of the different grana.
$\Rightarrow$ The membrane of the thylakoids enclose a space called a lumen.
$\Rightarrow$ The stroma of the chloroplast contains enzymes required for the synthesis of carbohydrates and proteins.
$\Rightarrow$ It also contains small, double-stranded circular $DNA$ molecules and ribosomes.
$\Rightarrow$ The ribosomes of the chloroplasts are smaller $(70S)$ than the cytoplasmic ribosomes $(80S).$
