- CThe membrane system is responsible for trapping the light energy and also for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.
- DIn stroma, enzymatic reactions synthesise sugar, which in turn forms palmitic acid.
Correct answer
C. The membrane system is responsible for trapping the light energy and also for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.
Step-by-step solution
Usually the chloroplasts align themselves along the walls of the mesophyll cells, such that they get the optimum quantity of the incident light. Within the chloroplast there is a membranous system consisting of grana, the stroma lamellae, and the matrix stroma (Figure 11.2). There is a clear division of labour within the chloroplast. The membrane system is responsible for trapping the light energy and also for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH. In stroma, enzymatic reactions synthesise sugar, which in turn forms starc
