Front Outline the structure and function of chloroplasts.
Back Chloroplasts - the site of photosynthesis
  • Surrounded by an envelope
  • Within the envelope - internal network of membranes which form flattened sacs - thylakoids
  • Stacked thylakoids - granum (contain chlorophyll pigments) which are joined together by lamellae
