no they are the structural component of the organelle,called chloroplast
Chloroplasts contain thylakoids and chlorophyll. These are only found in plant cells.
PS1 (Photosystem 1) is located on the stroma thylakoids: the thylakoids floating around in the stroma. PS2 is located on the grana thylakoids, those thylakoids organized into stacks called grana!
Chloroplasts are specialized organelles which contain chlorophyll which absorbs energy from sunlight. The process of photosynthesis takes place in thylakoids which are organized in stacks called grana.
As far as I can tell from my Biology book, the photosynthetic pigments are located in the thylakoids in plants.
Cyanobacteria were formerly known as blue-green algae which are photosynthetic. Thylakoids in the cyanobacteria are not separate organelles as we see in eukaryotic cell (eg:chloroplast). In fact the chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells were originated in a endosymbiotic event where cyanobacteria was taken up by the cell. Please read about enodsymbiosis.

Thylakoids are membrane-bound organelles found within chloroplasts

A chloroplast is composed of: -An outer membrane (phospholipid bilayer). -Stroma, which is a sort of cytosol. -Thylakoids, which are the site of photosynthesis. The thylakoids make up a very important part of a chloroplast, but they aren't the only thing in there.
No, mitochondria does not have thylakoids. Thylakoids are only found in chloroplast.
Thylakoids contain chlorophyll.
In the thylakoids are proteins that
granum are stacks of thylakoids. grana are several stacks of thylakoids. :)
The cell will have green organelles called chloroplasts. Inside the chloroplasts are thylakoids, which are stacks of discs called grana (singular granum). Chlorophyl is contained in the grana.
