Answer

Refer to diagram in original PDF showing]:

  • Outer membrane (smooth, permeable)
  • Inner membrane (selective barrier)
  • Stroma (fluid-filled matrix)
  • Thylakoids (flattened membrane sacs)
  • Grana (stacks of thylakoids)
  • Stroma lamellae (intergranal connections)

Additional notes:

  • Thylakoid membrane contains photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids)
  • Stroma contains enzymes for Calvin cycle, circular DNA, 70S ribosomes
  • Chloroplasts exhibit semi-autonomous nature
