How is the chloroplast suited for its functions?

Adaptations of the chloroplast for photosynthesis include;

  • It contains chlorophyll molecules which trap sunlight energy to be used in of photosynthesis.
  • It contains thylakoid membranes arranged into coin-like stacks called grana to increased surface area for packaging of chlorophyll molecules.
  • It contains enzymes necessary for fixation of carbon dioxide.
  • Contain thin membrane for diffusion of gases
  • Membrane transparent to allow in light for photosynthesis
