  • The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts.
    • Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms use light energy to synthesize organic compounds with the help of chlorophyll.
    • Photosynthesis likely originated in bacteria with infolded regions of the plasma membrane containing photosynthetic molecules.
  • Chloroplasts are double-membraned organelles found only in plant cells, algae, and some protists that contain chlorophyll and other pigments used in photosynthesis.
  • Grana are stacks of thylakoids in the chloroplasts.
  • Thylakoids are flattened sacs within the chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
  • Thylakoids are flattened sacs within the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
  • Grana are stacks of thylakoids that form the structure of the chloroplast.
  • Stroma is the fluid matrix inside the chloroplast where the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
  • Thylakoids are flattened sacs or disks within the chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
