The difference between Grana and Granum is explained in this video.
College physics and laboratory courses have been taught by Christianlly.He has a master's degree in physics.
Let's take a quick look at the plant cells.The cells of a plant are called plant cells.Their most important features are the cells of the green or leafy portions of their plant, which contain the chloroplasts.There is photosynthesis in the chloroplasts.Plants use carbon dioxide, a chemical compound, and water to make their own food.

The stacks of coin-shaped thylakoids are referred to as granum.Between 40 and 60 grana can be found in a plant cell.There are membranous pockets inside the plant cells.
Plants use chlorophyll for photosynthesis.There are two photosystems within the thylakoid.The sunlight is absorbed by photosystems and used in the creation of sugars.
The membranous granum is found in plants that are more complex.The stromal thylakoids are small tunnels in the lower part of the chloroplast that act as a unit.The chloroplast has a large surface area.They help add more surface area by being organized and stacked.
More light is absorbed into the chlorophyll when the surface area of the thylakoids is increased by Granum.When you increase the surface area, you allow more materials to attach to it.The plant can take in more sunlight and make more sugars.
Think of increasing the surface area of the thylakoids as writing on a post-it note instead of a piece of loose-leaf paper.You'll run out of space very quickly if you write on a post-it note.You will be able to write more if you use a regular piece of loose-leaf.
The increased surface area provided by the granum is the same.The increase in sugar production gives the plant more materials to grow and thrive.The more food the plant has, the harder it will be to survive.
Let's look at it.A granum is a stack of structures found inside plant cells.The process by which plants make their own food is called photosynthesis.The groups of Grana are connected by stromal thylakoids.The surface area of the thylakoids is increased by the grana.Increasing the surface area allows more sunlight to be absorbed.
