GRE Subject Test: Biochemistry, Cell, and Molecular Biology › Help with Chloroplast Structure
Where do the light reactions take place in the chloroplast?
The thylakoid membrane
The stroma
The outer membrane
The intermembrane space
The chloroplast has a very simular structure to the mitochondrion, as it is a double-membraned organelle. The chloroplast is used to house the processes of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane, while the light independent reactions take place in the stroma.
