Fluid Stroma Chloroplast Light Independent Reaction Enzymes Grana

Front How are chloroplast adapted to carrying out the light independent reaction of photosynthesis
Back Fluid of stroma contains all the enzymes required to carry out the light independent reaction. Stromal fluid is membrane bound in chloroplast which means a chemical environment which has high concentration of enzymes and substrates can be maintained.

Stroma fluid surrounds grana and so the products of light-dependent reaction in the grana can readily diffuse into the stroma

It contains both DNA and ribosomes so it can quickly and easily manufacture some of the proteins involved in the light-dependent reaction.
