Transcript of ☼ Sites of photosynthesis
☼ Sites of photosynthesis
☼ Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur at the thylakoid membrane, while light-
independent reactions occur in the stroma.
Chloroplasts ☼ Present in leaf cells and green organs of plant and algae
☼ Move through cell by cytoplasmic streaming in order to absorb as much
light
☼ Contain light absorbing pigments (chlorophyll)
☼ System of flattened mambranous sacs (thylakoids)
☼ Surrounding fluid (stroma) around the thylakoid membrane contains
substances such as starch grains and enzymes
