Chloroplasts -are structures that houses the pigments and are responsible for Photosynthesis.
Lamella- is an extension of a thylakoid within a chloroplast, linking a thylakoid within one granum to one in another.
Thylakoid- is a disk-shaped structure wherein light is captured.
Granum- a stack of thylakoids
Lumen- is the inside of a thylakoid membrane
Stroma- is the aqueous fluid inside a chloroplast
Innermembrane Space- also known as IMS is the region between the inner membrane and the outer membrane of a chloroplast

The main parts of a chloroplast are the outer and inner membranes, stroma, thylakoid membrane, and grana. The stroma is where the Calvin cycle takes place, which is responsible for synthesizing sugars from carbon dioxide. The thylakoid membrane contains chlorophyll and is where light reactions occur, producing energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
Thylakoid (the individual discs inside the chloroplast) I think serve as the powerhouse of the chloroplast, which is the part that does photosynthesis.
Stroma (because it acts like the cytoplasm in an overall cell) acts to hold all the parts together.
Choloroplasts use clorophyll (what makes leaves green) to make food. Outer membrane, intermembrane space, inner membrane, Stroma (aqueous fluid), Granum (stack of thylakoids), Thylakoid, Lamella, Lumen (inside of Thylakoid)
The parts of a chloroplast are the thyakoid, the Grana or Granium (Singular), The inner and outer membrane, the stroma, and air pockets (if you wish to count them too.)
function of chloroplast
Thylakoid membranes are an essential part of chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur. They contain chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy to produce ATP and NADPH.
The parts of a chloroplast are thylakoid, grana, inner membrane, outer membrane, intermembrane space, stroma, and stroma.
Mitochondria carry out respiration. Chloroplast carry out photosynthesis
Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.Glucose are produced in chloroplast.
