A schematic cross-section depicts a chloroplast with a double-membrane envelope enclosing a stromal matrix traversed by thylakoid membranes stacked as grana and connected by stroma lamellae. This organelle resides in the cytoplasm of plant cells and is examined in cell biology and plant physiology. Thylakoid membranes conduct light reactions that produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced), while stromal enzymes mediate carbon fixation. The image illustrates an organelle within a cell and its internal membrane system that enables oxygenic photosynthesis and carbohydrate biosynthesis.
