Question

One process that takes place in this organelle converts 3-PGA into G3P molecules. In response to stress, this organelle produces jasmonic acid to promote senescence. The “klepto” variety of this organelle can be found in various sea slugs, in which it remains functional. Proteins are moved in and out of this organelle through the TIC and TOC (10[1])complexes. The consumption of a cyanobacterium by an early eukaryote is the likely origin (-5[1])for this (-5[1])organelle. (-5[2])Grana in this structure are composed of stacks of thylakoid membranes, where light-dependent reactions take place. For 10 points, name this organelle that is the site of photosynthesis in plants. (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[1])
