What is the function of storma of plastids |
| Answer» Initially, the stroma was thought to simply provide support for the pigmented thylakoids. However it is now known that the stroma contains starch, chloroplast DNA and ribosomes, as well as all the enzymes required for light-independent reactions of\xa0photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle. Most of the enzymes essential in the process of photosynthesis are normally embedded in the\xa0stroma\xa0and in the thylakoid membranes. The\xa0stroma\xa0is the fluid-filled space that is surrounding the grana, and is also involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from water and carbon dioxide. | |
