Document Summary

Chloroplast arose from phagocytosis of photosynthetic cyanobacteria and can divide by fission. Chloroplasts major function is involved with being the site of photosynthesis which utilizes energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Figure 6. 2 the functional organization of a leaf. The section of the lead shows several layers of cells that contain chloroplasts distributed within their cytoplasm. These chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis, providing raw materials and chemical energy for the entire plant. Figure 6. 3 the internal structure of a chloroplast. (a) transmission electron microscopy (tem) through a single chloroplast. Electron micrograph (em) of a section through a portion of a spinach chloroplast showing the stacked grana thylakoids, which are connected to one another by unstacked stroma thylakoids (stroma lamellae). The thylakoids-internal membrane system is responsible for its membranous sacs arranged in stacks called grana. The membrane has a 75% protein: 25% lipid ratio. The thylakoid sacs have lumen inside of them.
