Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Saclike photosynthetic membranes in chloroplast are called:
A
grana
B
thylakoid
C
stroma
D
chlorophyll
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts contain saclike photosynthetic membranes called thylakoids, which are interconnected and arranged in stacks known as grana. Pigments are located in the thylakoid membranes. The fluid portion outside of the thylakoids is known as the stroma.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Structure and Function of Chloroplasts In addition to the inner and outer membranes of the envelope, chloroplasts have a third internal membrane system, called the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoid membrane forms a network of flattened discs called thylakoids, which are frequently arranged in stacks called grana.

Detailed explanation-3: -The thylakoid membranes of a chloroplast is an internal system of interconnected membranes, that carry out the light reactions of photosynthesis. They are arranged into stacked and unstacked regions called grana and stroma thylakoids, respectively, that are differentially enriched in photosystem I and II complexes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures embedded in the chloroplast stroma. A stack of thylakoids is called a granum and resembles a stack of coins.

Detailed explanation-5: -In chloroplast: Characteristics of chloroplasts. … presence of closed disks (or thylakoids), is known as the thylakoid membrane. In most higher plants, the thylakoids are arranged in tight stacks called grana (singular granum).
