Question
Chlorophyll molecules are located in the
thylakoid membrane
thylakoid lumen
stroma
inner chloroplast membrane
Solution
A.
thylakoid membrane
The green pigment chlorophyll is located within the thylakoid membrane, and the space between the thylakoid and the chloroplast membranes is called the stroma.
Chlorophyll is specifically arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. It also acts as a site of light dependent reactions of photosynthesis, while thylakoid lumen has vital role in photophosphorylation during photosynthesis, stroma is a colourless fluid has surrounding the grana within the chloroplast.
