Chloroplasts contain thylakoids, which are membrane-bound compartments where photosynthesis takes place. Thylakoids are stacked into structures called grana within the chloroplasts.
The stacks of disks containing chlorophyll in a chloroplast are called thylakoids. Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur. Multiple thylakoids are usually stacked on top of each other to form grana.
The chlorophyll-containing bodies in the chloroplast are called thylakoids. Thylakoids are membranous sacs that contain chlorophyll pigments and other components necessary for photosynthesis. They are stacked on top of each other in columns called grana.
Thylakoids. These disk-shaped structures contain chlorophyll and are involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis. They are stacked together to form grana.
Thylakoids and the Golgi apparatus both exhibit a stacked, membrane-bound structure. Thylakoids are organized into stacks known as grana within chloroplasts, while the Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membrane sacs called cisternae stacked on top of each other. Both structures facilitate processes essential for the cell—thylakoids for photosynthesis and the Golgi apparatus for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins. This similarity in organization highlights their roles in cellular efficiency and function.
Closely stacked flattened sacs in plants refer to the thylakoids found within chloroplasts. These thylakoids contain chlorophyll and are essential for photosynthesis, where they capture light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The arrangement of thylakoids into stacks, known as granum, maximizes the surface area for light absorption.
A stack of thylakoids is called a stroma.

granum are stacks of thylakoids. grana are several stacks of thylakoids. :)
Thylakoids are stacked into grana, which are interconnected by stroma thylakoids. The stroma is the fluid-filled region surrounding the thylakoids and contains enzymes necessary for photosynthesis. These components work together to facilitate the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle in chloroplasts.
This description matches the structure of a chloroplast, a cell organelle found in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are surrounded by two membranes and contain a matrix known as stroma, within which a system of membranes called thylakoids are present. Thylakoids are stacked in some areas to form grana, which contain chlorophyll, the pigment involved in capturing light energy for photosynthesis.
