In chloroplasts, chlorophyll is present in the:
Correct answer: C. Thylakoids
- A. Outer membrane
- B. Inner membrane
- C. Thylakoids
- D. Stroma
Explanation
Thylakoids are the flattened sac-like membranous structures within chloroplasts. Chlorophyll is embedded in the thylakoid membranes, where it plays a crucial role in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, capturing and converting light energy.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
