# Long description

The schematic diagram in (b) shows the chloroplast bounded by an outer membrane immediately beneath which is the inner membrane. This membrane encloses the stroma, within which are the cylindrical grana, connected by membranes called stroma lamellae. The enlargement shows the internal structure of a single granum: stacks of flat membranous sacs called thylakoids each surrounding a thylakoid lumen.
