Q543
Photosynthetic pigments found in the chloroplasts occurs in
A.
Thylakoid membranes
AnswerB.
Plastoglobules
C.
Matrix
D.
Chloroplast envelope
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Photosynthetic pigments found in the chloroplasts occur in Thylakoid membranes.Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Thylakoids consist of a thylakoid membrane surrounding a thylakoid lumen.
The thylakoid membrane is the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis with the photosynthetic pigments embedded directly in the membrane. It is an alternating pattern of dark and light bands measuring each 1 nanometre.
