Solution

Grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes. Each granum is made up of a stack of closed compartment called thylakoids. Each thylakoid consists of two parallel membranes joined at their margins. The membranes of thylakoids contain the layer of particles called chlorophyll. Each chloroplast contains nearly 40-60 grana embedded in the stroma.
