Question
which statement best describes what a thylakoid does during photosynthesis? surrounds the grana and keeps them moist enables the light - dependent reactions to occur combines carbon dioxide and water to make sugar helps the light - independent reactions to occur
Thylakoids are the sites where light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place. They contain chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy. The light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma. Thylakoids are not responsible for keeping grana moist or combining carbon dioxide and water to make sugar directly.
