Document Summary

Chloroplast has a double membrane like mitochondria inner membrane and outer membrane with intermembrane space in between. Thylakoids are little discs stacked inside the chloroplast (a stack is called the granum). They have a thylakoid membrane and are filled with thylakoid lumen. The stroma is the fluid-filled space between the thylakoids inside the chloroplast. Plants regulate the size of the stromata from closed to partially open to balance co2 intake and water loss. Stromata is associated with co2 entering and water coming out: photosynthesis, gain of carbon, 5-carbon rubp + co2 -> 2 3-carbon pga. Rubisco is the most common protein in the world because it is present in the stroma of every plant. It is an enzyme that helps carbon fixation by joining 5-carbon rubp and inorganic co2 to create a 6- carbon molecule. If rubisco binds with co2 and combines it to rubp, we have photosynthesis.
