The gel-filled space in the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid stack is called the stroma. It plays a crucial role in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose. The stroma also contains enzymes, DNA, and ribosomes, allowing for the synthesis of proteins and other molecules within the chloroplast.
The membrane that forms a compartment inside the stroma is the thylakoid membrane. This membrane contains chlorophyll and is the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis in chloroplasts. The thylakoid membrane is organized into stacks called grana, which helps increase surface area for photosynthetic reactions.
Photosynthesis primarily takes place in the thylakoid membrane and stroma of the chloroplast. The thylakoid membrane contains the photosystems responsible for light absorption and electron transport, while the stroma contains the enzymes for the Calvin cycle, where carbon fixation occurs.
The pH of the thylakoid is lower than the stroma due to the accumulation of protons (H+) within the thylakoid lumen during the light reactions of photosynthesis. This proton gradient is created by the electron transport chain and ATP synthase, which pump protons into the thylakoid. The lower pH in the thylakoid creates a proton motive force that drives ATP synthesis and helps power the production of NADPH.
The stroma is located within the chloroplasts of plant cells. It surrounds the thylakoid membranes where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur, and is the site where the Calvin Cycle, the light-independent reactions, take place.
No, chlorophyll is located in the thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, not in the stroma. The stroma is the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoid membranes where the Calvin cycle takes place.
It consists of grana..thylakoid..stroma..outer and inner membrane..
In the thylakoid and the stroma of the chloroplasts.
stroma
The Calvin cycle happens in the stroma of the chloroplast.
Protons are translocated from the stroma to the thylakoid lumen in chloroplasts during chemiosmosis. This creates a proton gradient that is used by ATP synthase to generate ATP through the process of photophosphorylation.
Light collecting units for photosynthesis are found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. The light energy is absorbed by pigments such as chlorophyll within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts, where the process of photosynthesis takes place.
there are two parts. They are thylakoid membranes and stroma
A granum is a stack of thylakoids in the chloroplast and the stroma is the region outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts.
The parts of a chloroplast are thylakoid, grana, inner membrane, outer membrane, intermembrane space, stroma, and stroma.
