Here's why:
* Light Reactions: These occur in the thylakoid membrane, which contains chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy. The thylakoid membrane is folded into stacks called grana.
* Stroma: This is the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids. It contains enzymes and molecules necessary for the Calvin cycle, which is the dark reaction of photosynthesis.
In summary:
* Light reactions: Thylakoid membrane (grana)
* Dark reactions (Calvin cycle): Stroma
