What are the stacks inside the chloroplast called? What process takes place on the membrane of this structure?

chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it with water and carbon to produce sugar, their food. this is called photosynthesis. the watery stuff inside the chloroplast is stroma, and the things looking like stacked tires are thykaloids. the photosynthesis reaction takes place on the thykaloid membrane.

hope this helps!

The chloroplast produces chlorophyll,which traps light energy for photosynthesis.
Thylakoid membranes are found inside the chloroplast
Photophosphorylation takes place here

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plants that are responsible for converting solar energy into chemical energy. It uses chlorophyll to do this. And chlorophyll absorbs wavelengths of light and creates high energy bonds used in making certain sugars inside the plant cell.

the chloroplast accepts light photons that are used in photosynthesis.......the chloroplast aslo contains several pigments....many of which are chlorophyll.....which also absorbs light for photosynthesis
