EuglenaAlgae on Water

Anatomy Outer and inner membranes. Granum-closed compartments of stacked

membranes. Granum contain disk-like structures known

as thylakoids. Thylakoid surface has light-capturing

photosynthetic pigment. Lumen- inner thylakoid Stroma-fluid surrounding thylakoid,

contains glucose synthesizing enzymes

Anatomy

What does a Chloroplast do? Make food for the organism. Absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis- process where carbon

dioxide, sunlight and water are used to make ATP and NADPH for energy

Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis
