b. Thylakoids exist as a maze of folded membranes.

c. The space surrounding thylakoids is called stroma.

d. Thylakoids contain chlorophyll.

Which part of the light-independent reactions would be affected if a cell could not produce the enzyme RuBisCO?

Predict the end result if a chloroplast’s light-independent enzymes developed a mutation that prevented them from activating in response to light.
