The structures that are formed by stacking of organized flattened membranous sacs in the chloroplasts are

  1. Stroma lamellae
  2. Cristae
  3. Stroma
  4. Grana

Answer

(4) Grana

Solution

As per NCERT, the space limited by the inner membrane of the chloroplast contains a number of organised flattened membranous sacs called thylakoids.

⇒ Thylakoids are arranged in stacks like piles of coins called grana (singular: granum).

∵ Stroma lamellae are flat membranous tubules connecting the thylakoids of different grana, stroma is the matrix and cristae are infoldings of the inner mitochondrial membrane.

∴ The stacks are grana.

Answer: (4)
