You're on a roll — Here are the solutions to the problems: 1. The diagram below represents a cell organelle. a) State the function of the above organelle. The organelle shown is a chloroplast. Its function is to carry out photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy (glucose). b) Give three ways in which the organelle is adapted to its functions. It contains chlorophyll*, a pigment that absorbs light energy for the light-dependent reactions. The numerous thylakoid membranes* are stacked into grana, providing a large surface area for the light-dependent reactions. The stroma* contains enzymes essential for the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to synthesize glucose. c) Name the part labelled A. Part A is a stack of thylakoids, known as a granum (plural: grana). d) State the functions of the part labelled B. Part B is the outer membrane of the chloroplast. Its function is to regulate the movement of substances into and out of the chloroplast. 2. The figure below shows A and B that Matthew ha for 48 hours still surround This question is incomplete.
