Thylakoids


Thylakoids are a phospholipid bilayer membrane-bound compartment internal to chloroplasts. The membrane is folded repeatedly into a stack of disks called grana, similar to a stack of pancakes.

Thylakoids
The thylakoid membranes enclose a lumen: a system of vesicles (that may all be interconnected).
At various places within the chloroplast these are stacked in arrays called grana (resembling a stack of coins).

Thylakoids are membranous disk-like structures that are stacked together in larger structures that resemble stacks of coins. Chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments are located in the membranes of the thylakoids.

Cyanobacteria are close to the ancestors of chloroplasts, but cyanobacteria maintain fully functional respiratory and photosynthetic complexes in the same internal membrane system, the thylakoids.

Within the stroma are stacks of thylakoids, the sub-organelle where photosynthesis actually takes place. A stack of thylakoids is called a granum.

Stacks of thylakoids are called grana, where the Light Reaction occurs. The cytoplasm of the chlorplast is called the stroma, and the Light Independant Reaction (carbon fixation) occurs here.
