Question Details

Fret channels are associated with

Options

A

Two grana of a chloroplast

B

Two lamellae of a granum

C

Two quantasomes

D

Two plastids of a cell

Correct Answer :

Two grana of a chloroplast

Solution :

The correct option is Two grana of a chloroplast.

To understand why this is correct, let us look at the structure of a chloroplast.
Inside a chloroplast, there are membrane-bound sacs called thylakoids. These thylakoids are stacked on top of one another like coins to form structures called grana (singular: granum).
Different grana within the chloroplast are not completely isolated; they are connected to each other by tubular membranes or channels. These connecting channels are known as fret channels (also referred to as stroma lamellae or stroma thylakoids). Therefore, fret channels are associated with connecting two grana of a chloroplast.
