overview of photosynthesis
photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight energy is used to make glucose. the site of photosynthesis
is in the chloroplast - an organelles found in the leaves of green plants. the main function of chloroplasts
are to produce food (glucose) during photosynthesis and to store food energy.
chloroplasts are double membrane organelles with a
smooth outer membrane and an inner membrane folded
into disc - shaped sacs called thylakoids. thylakoids,
containing chlorophyll and other accessory pigments
(red, orange, yellow, brown), are in stacks called granum
(grana, plural). grana are connected to each other by
structures called lamellae, and they surrounded by a
gel - like material called stroma.
- what is photosynthesis?
- in what organelle does photosynthesis occur?
- where are chloroplast found?
- list the two main functions of chloroplasts.
- how many membranes surround a chloroplast?
- the individual sacs formed by the inner membrane are called
- list the two main functions of
chloroplasts.
a. produce glucose
b. make sunlight
c. store food energy
d. makes ribosomes
The text clearly states that the main functions of chloroplasts are to produce glucose during photosynthesis and store food energy. Option B is incorrect as chloroplasts do not make sunlight; sunlight is an external energy source. Option D is wrong because making ribosomes is not a function of chloroplasts.
