A thylakoid is a membrane compartment that is bound inside the chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. It is the site of the light-dependent reactions for the process of photosynthesis
see this is what happend the cell breaks down and turn into thylakoid membrains
thylakoid membrane
Proton pumps in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts create a proton gradient by pumping H+ ions from the stroma into the thylakoid lumen during photosynthesis. This gradient is utilized by ATP synthase to produce ATP through chemiosmosis.
The function of the electron transport proteins in the thylakoid membranes is to pump hydrogens into the thylakoid space for later generation of ATP. This process is called chemiosmosis.
The thylakoid lumen is the compartment bounded by the thylakoid membrane. It plays a vital role for photophosphorylation during photosynthesis. During the light-dependent reaction, protons are pumped across the thylakoid membrane into the lumen making it acidic down to pH 4.
The grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts. The thylakoids contain chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy for photosynthesis. The grana's structure allows for efficient light absorption, while the thylakoids' function is to convert light energy into chemical energy for the plant.
Chlorophyll is found in the thylakoid membrane.
No, the stroma is not located within the thylakoid membrane. The stroma is the fluid-filled space outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast.
There is only 1 phospholipid bilayer that separates the stroma from the thylakoid lumen.
Dark reaction take place in stroma.Light reaction take place in thylakoid membranes.
granum = stacks of thylakoid the thylakoid are the flattened sacks
chlorophyll molecules sit on the outside of the thylakoid sacs.
