Correct answer: A. Grana
- A. Grana
- B. Pyrenoid
- C. Stroma
- D. Both grana and stroma
Explanation
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is located in the grana. Grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplasts where the photosystems containing chlorophyll are embedded. They are responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis.
