Which descriptions apply to a chloroplast?

Biology
1 answer:
jenyasd209 [6]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: (A) a membrane‑bound organelle with stacks of thylakoid discs called grana.

(E) the main site of photosynthesis in a plant cell.

Explanation:

The plant chloroplast is a large organelle, it is bounded by a double membrane like structure that is chloroplast envelop.

The chloroplast consists of chlorophyll pigment which traps the light energy from sun and converts it into chemical energy in the form of ATP. Thus the chloroplast is the main site for photosynthesis. Including the inner and outer membrane structure it also posses the third internal membrane structure which is called as the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoid membrane forms the network of flat discs which are called as thylakoids, the thylakoids are arranged in stacks which are called as grana.

The thylakoid membrane is the center point for the synthesis of ATP through a chemiosmotic process.

Photosynthesis is made up of both light-dependent and light-independent reactions. Identify the products of the light-dependent
USPshnik [31]
ATP, NADPH, and oxygen are formed products of the light-dependent portion. The independent part would produce things like glucose or lowered amounts of energy and NADP, much lower.

Which of the following factors does not affect membrane permeability? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following factors does
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The polarity of membrane phospholipids

Explanation:

The inner core of membranes is made of nonpolar tails of phospholipids which in turn makes the membranes impermeable for polar, large and charged substances since these substances cannot cross the non-polar inner core. The saturated hydrocarbon tails pack tightly and make membrane less permeable while cholesterol affects the membrane permeability by interacting with non-polar tails.

Higher temperatures make the membrane more fluid and more permeable while at lower temperatures, membranes are more rigid due to tight packing of hydrocarbon tails and less permeable. The polar heads of phospholipids make the inner and outer surface of the membrane. Therefore, the polarity of phospholipids does not affect the membrane permeability.
