Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is false
A
A chloroplast contains stroma
B
A thylakoid contains chlorophyll
C
A stroma contains a thylakoid
D
A granum contains several thylakoids
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: -Inside a chloroplast, thylakoid has two structural forms. One is stroma thylakoid (stroma lamellae), which is a membrane-bound structure embedded into the stroma of chloroplast. The other is granum, which is a well-packed stack of thylakoids (see Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Grana as Basic Structural Units of the Chloroplast Thylakoid Network in Plants. Grana are essential structural features of the chloroplast thylakoid network, which are specific for plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -September 13, 2022. 4 min read. The main difference between thylakoid and stroma is that thylakoid is the flattened sac inside the chloroplast where photosynthesis occurs whereas stroma is the fluid-filled, internal space of the chloroplast. Thylakoid and stroma are two important structures of the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each thylakoid membrane contains many chlorophyll molecules and other proteins. Chlorophyll molecules are arranged into clusters called photosystems. Plants capture light energy with chlorophyll pigments and transfer it to electrons, which are then passed down the chain of proteins in the thylakoid membrane.
