 Photosynthesis may be defined as the synthesis
of simple sugars(glucose) from carbon dioxide
and water by the cells of green plants containing
chlorophyll by using light energy.
Chloroplasts are sites of photosynthesis.
They contain a green pigment called chlorophyll.
These are minute, microscopic, oval cell
organelles.
WHAT ARE
CHLOROPLASTS?
STRUCTURE OF CHLOROPLAST
 Each chloroplast is differentiated into three parts:
MEMBRANES
STROMA
THYLAKOIDS
MEMBRANES
• Double
membrane
envelope.
• Made up of
lipoproteins.
• Selectively
permeable
• In between two
membranes is a
narrow space
called
periplastidial
space.
STROMA
• Living matrix or
ground substance
of chloroplast.
• Contains
ribosomes,
circular naked
DNA and
phosphoglobules
and other organic
substances.
THYLAKOIDS
• Flattened,
membranous sac-
like structures
lying in the
stroma.
• Present like piles
of coins called
grana.
• Grana are
connected each
other by stroma
lamellae or frets.
