Directions: Label the parts of the chloroplast based on the picture below and give a short description
of its function.
Example:
1. Chorophyll – a green pigment found in plants which is responsible for absorbing sunlight.
ANSWERS:
1. Outer membrane- contains pores and is therefore freely permeable to small molecules.
2. Thylakoid- pouch like sacs that are bound to a membrane in the chloroplasts
3. Stroma- internal space of the chloroplasts which encircle the grana and the thylakoids
5. Inner Membrane- Regulates the passage of materials in and out of the chloroplast
6. Granum- basic structural unit of the thylakoid membrane network of plant chloroplasts
