Chloroplast diagram: The following diagram of a chloroplast

The following diagram of a chloroplast shows the structure of a chloroplast including the main parts - the chloroplast envelope, the stroma, thylakoids, grana, lamella, and also other structures such as starch granules, circular DNA, ribosomes and lipid globules. Chloroplasts are membrane-bound plastids that contain a network of membranes embedded into a liquid matrix and harbor the photosynthetic pigment called chlorophyll. Definition of Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are the elliptical, oval, spherical, star-shaped, ribbon-like lipoproteinous double membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of plant cells that contain chlorophylls and help in photosynthesis. Structure of Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are large cell organelles about 5 μm-10 μm long that are bounded by a double membrane called chloroplast envelope and also have their own genome (double helix, circular DNA). In electron microscopic studies, each ... GeeksforGeeks | A computer science portal for geeks
