THE CHLOROPLAST

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False. The stroma is located within the thylakoid membrane.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The membrane-bound matrix of chloroplasts is stroma and within the stroma, thylakoids are present that are a kind of grana. Hence, Both chloroplast and mitochondria have an interior compartment, the thylakoid membrane is that the wrong statement.

Detailed explanation-2: -the thylakoid membrane, embedded in the stroma, encloses the aqueous lumen, which is the innermost compartment of the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -The stroma is located in the chloroplast of a plant cell. The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle which is found in the cytoplasm of a plant cell. Inside chloplasts there exists a fluid called the stroma which surrounds the thylakoid membranes which contain the chlorophyll which is used to capture light.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thylakoid membrane contains a series of embedded pigments and proteins that are essential to perform the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. In order, these are Photosystem II, plastoquinone, cytochrome b6f, plastocyanin, Photosystem I, ferredoxin, and NADP+ reductase.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thylakoids are present in the chloroplasts of all the plants and blue-green algae. Thylakoids are interconnected disc-like sacs of the internal membrane system of the chloroplast.
