Pyrenoid A protein structure found in the chloroplasts of green algae and hornworts (Anthocerophyta). Pyrenoids are associated with the storage of starch.
The uniformity of chloroplast grana lamellae,, the numbers and cristae of mitochondria, and the concentration of nucleus karyolymph were different among different mature grade leaves.
Each leaf parenchyma cell can hold hundreds of chloroplasts — that's where all the photosynthesis happens and what gives leaves their signature green color.
