Question

Scientists developed a new method to detect the precise location of specific molecules within living cells. Where should they expect to find the green photosynthetic chlorophyll molecule? A. In the inner membrane of the chloroplast B. In the stroma of the chloroplast C. In the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast D. In the outer membrane of the chloroplast

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C, that is, in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Chlorophyll is situated in a clustered form in the thylakoid membrane of the organelles known as chloroplasts. Inside the thylakoid membrane, the chlorophyll molecule is enclosed by the proteins, which forms the complexes known as photosystems that mediate the light energy via the chlorophyll.
