Grana are
protein storing plastids.
coloured plastids.
stacks of thylakoids.
individual thylakoids present in stroma.
Correct Answer :
C. stacks of thylakoids.
Grana is a stacked membranous structure within the chloroplasts of plants and green algae that contains the chlorophyll (green pignent). It is the site of the light reactions of photosynthesis. The sac-like membranes that make up grana are known as thylakoids.

9.A student was given cell samples (A and B) to identify parts which are highlighted. He observed the samples under the microscope and list down the function of the part of cell sample. The information collected by the student is listed in the table below, on the basis of which the student infers that the samples contain the organelles.
| Sample A | Sample B |
|---|---|
| Make energy available for cellular metabolism | Generates ATP and synthes izes s ugar |
