Which series lists the structural components of the light-dependent reactions in order, from smallest to largest? a. chlorophyll ® thylakoid ® stroma ® chloroplast b. chloroplast ® thylakoid ® stroma ® chlorophyll c. chlorophyll ® thylakoid ® grana ® chloroplast d. chloroplast ® thylakoid ® grana ® chlorophyll

The correct order of structural components of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is chlorophyll < thylakoid < grana < chloroplast.

Photosynthesis is a process by which plants/organisms having a specialized cell organelle known as chloroplast can make their own food.

Inside chloroplast, there is a structure named as grana which is a stack of various flattened sac like membranous vesicles known as thylakoids. Further, thylakoids have thylakoid membrane and thylakoid lumen. On the thylakoid membrane, various pigments named as chlorophyll are found which facilitate photosynthesis. Chlorophyll pigments are a part of light harvesting complex which captures light so as to accomplish light reaction of photosynthesis.

any abiotic or biotic factor in an ecosystem that causes a population's size to slow or decrease is a limiting factor.
