| Front | How are chloroplast structurally adapted to function of capturing sunlight and carrying out the light dependant reaction |
|---|---|
| Back | Thylakoid membrane provide larger Surface Area for attachment of chlorophyll, electron carriers and enzymes that carry out the light-dependant reaction. Network of proteins in the grana hold the chlorophyll in a very precise manner allowing for maximum light absorption Granal membranes have ATP synthase channels which catalyses the production of ATP, the channels are selectively permeable to allow establishment of proton gradient. Chloroplasts contain both DNA and ribosomes so they can easily manufacture some of the proteins involved in the light dependant reaction. |
