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

☼ 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
