chloroplasts

• what is the waxy cuticle 


  a waterproof layer
• where is the main site of photosynthesis 


  palisade mesophyll
• what does the spongy mesophyll and the air spaces in it allow?

  gas movement
• what do the guard cells do?

  open and close the stomata
• what does the stomata allow?

  gas exchange and transpirtaion
• Chloroplast:

  A) inner membrane

  B) inter membrane space

  C) outer membrane

  D) Chloroplast Ribosomes

  E) stroma

  F) starch grain

  G) lipid globule

  H) Granum

  I) Intergranal lamellae

  J) Thylakoid

  
• what does the garnum allow?

  allows a big surface area for ligh absorption
• what does the granum contain?

  pigments, electron carriers and ATP synthase
• what is a granum

  a thylakoid stack
• what are starch grain and lipid globules used for?

  storage
• what happens in the stroma

  the light dependent stage of photosynthesis
• what happens in the thylakoid

  the light dependent stage of ATP synthesis so light absorption happens
• what occurs in the stroma

  light dependent stage of photosynthesis
