What type of ribosomes are found in chloroplasts?
Options
- A70S
- B80S
- C90S
- D100S
Correct answer
A. 70S
Step-by-step solution
The membrane of the thylakoids enclose a space called a lumen. The stroma of the chloroplast contains enzymes required for the synthesis of carbohydrates and proteins. It also contains small, doublestranded circular DNA molecules and ribosomes . Chlorophyll pigments are present in the thylakoids. The ribosomes of the chloroplasts are smaller (70S) than the cytoplasmic ribosomes (80S).
