Meadow · Answer 2

The correct answers are options d, e and f.

Explanation:

Chloroplasts refer to a double-membrane bound organelles, which exhibits an internal membrane system known as the thylakoids. The thylakoids are found in a fluid known as stroma. The thylakoids are the location for undergoing light reaction and possess chlorophyll pigment.

The captivation of solar energy takes place by the green color pigment chlorophyll, which is eventually used to generate NADPH and ATP while undergoing light reaction. Stroma is the location for dark reactions, which produced glucose from carbon dioxide.
