Complete the following paragraph by selecting the most suitable words for the gaps. A chloroplast is enclosed by two phospholipid membranes. Its internal matrix, the stroma, is the location of the Calvin cycle. The stroma includes enzymes such as ................................ and also sugars, lipids and starch. A chloroplast has an internal membrane network of fluid-filled sacs called ................................, which can be arranged in stacks to make grana. The membranes of the grana contain photosynthetic pigments so that the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis can occur. The stroma contains circular ................................ which codes for some of the chloroplast proteins made by its own small ................................
