The dense fluid filled region in the chloroplast is:

Correct answer: B. Stroma

  • A. Grana
  • B. Stroma
  • C. Thylakoid
  • D. Intergrana

Explanation

Option A: Grana: Stacks of thylakoids within the chloroplast responsible for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Option B: The stroma is the dense fluid-filled region within the chloroplast, surrounding the thylakoid membranes. It plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, including the synthesis of organic molecules through photosynthesis. Option C: Thylakoid: Flattened disc-like structures within the chloroplast containing photosynthetic pigments and responsible for capturing light energy. Option D: Intergrana: Not a recognized term; it may refer to the spaces or regions between the grana or thylakoid membranes, but the more accurate term is stroma lamellae.

About Bioenergetics

Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
