1
Q

where does the LIR take place?

A

in the stroma of the chloroplast molecule

2
Q

what contains all of the enzymes needed to carry out the LIR?

A

the fluid of the stroma

3
Q

what allows a chemical environment with a high concentration of enzymes and substrates, to be maintained within it?

A

the stromal fluid because it is membrane-bound in the chloroplast and separates itself from the cytoplasm

4
Q

why can the products of the LDR in the grana readily diffuse into the stroma?

A

the stroma fluid surrounds the grana

5
Q

what 2 structures does the stroma contain that allows the quick and efficient manufacture of proteins involved in the LIR?

A
  1. DNA

2. ribosomes
