Question

The chloroplast thylakoids are in the form of.

A.

interconnected sacs

B.

independent discs

C.

interconnected tubules

D.

stacked discs

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Stacked discs

Explanation:
  • The thylakoids in chloroplasts are organized into stacked discs called grana. These stacks of thylakoids are embedded in a matrix called the stroma. The thylakoids contain the pigment chlorophyll, which plays a key role in the process of photosynthesis by capturing light energy.

Information Booster:
  • Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures found within the chloroplasts of plant cells, and they are essential for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
  • The stacks of thylakoids are called grana (plural of granum), and they are connected by stroma lamellae (unstacked regions of the thylakoid membrane).
  • The thylakoid membranes contain various proteins, enzymes, and pigments, including chlorophyll, which absorb light energy for photosynthesis.
  • The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes, while the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions) occurs in the stroma.
  • The grana structure enhances the surface area for the light reactions, allowing more chlorophyll to capture light and produce energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADPH.
Additional Information:
  • Interconnected sacs: This would describe a network, but thylakoids are specifically stacked rather than merely interconnected in sacs.
  • Independent discs: Thylakoids are not independent; they are arranged into stacks called grana, with some connections between them.
  • Interconnected tubules: Thylakoids are flat and disc-shaped.
