The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Chloroplast Structure**: - Chloroplasts are specialized organelles found in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, the green pigment that captures light energy. 2. **Identifying Membranous Sacs**: - Within chloroplasts, there are organized structures made up of flattened membranous sacs. These sacs are crucial for the chloroplast's function. 3. **Recognizing the Stacked Structure**: - The flattened membranous sacs stack on top of each other to form a structure. This stacking is essential for maximizing the surface area for light absorption. 4. **Naming the Structure**: - The stacked structure formed by these flattened membranous sacs is called **grana** (singular: granum). Each granum consists of multiple thylakoids, which are the individual membranous sacs. 5. **Interconnection of Grana**: - Grana are interconnected by stroma lamellae, which are thin membranes that help in the communication between different grana. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the structures formed by stacking of organized flattened membranous sacs in the chloroplasts are called **grana**. ---
