A thylakoid is a membrane-bound organelle. It's located inside of chloroplasts . The thylakoid is a flattened sac or vesicle lined with a pigmented membrane that is the site of photosynthesis in plants and algae.

Where do the light- independent reactions occur?
light independent reactions take place in thylakiods- more specifically in the thylakiod membranes of chloroplasts.
Why is water needed in photosynthesis?
It is a part of the process of how a plant produces glucose and other sugars in order to live. In order to photosynthesize, a plant needs water from what is in the air (measured by humidity) or from what it takes from the ground in its roots, or on its leaves when it rains, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The plant uses these two elements to produce by products oxygen, which is released as a waste product to the atmosphere, and glucose, which is uses for energy. Specifically, water is needed for photosynthesis because it's electrons are used to replenish the lost electrons from the chlorophyll in photosystem II. The hydrogens from water are also used to make a proton gradient that powers the ATP synthase which is used to make ATP for the Calvin cycle. The oxygen is a waste product of the process.
Where is the thylakiod located in a cell?
The chloroplasts
What do mitocondrial and thylakiod membranes have in common?
They both use ATP synthase proteins in ATP production

light independent reactions take place in thylakiods- more specifically in the thylakiod membranes of chloroplasts.

Can thylakiod membrane contain chlorophyll and other pigments that absorb sunlight?
Yes it can do it. it contains pigments inside.
Do thylakiod membrane contain chlorophyll and other pigments that absorb sunlight?
Yes it is true. Pigments are in thylakoids
What will most likely happen if the hydrogen pump protein in photosystem it doesn't take in enough H ions into the thylakiod?
A decrease in the formation of ATP
What is the thylakiod membrane?
The thylakoid membrane is where Light Reactions cycle takes place. They are the membrane that form close sacks around the light absorbing pigments which are then used in photosynthesis.
Which structures does the Calvin cycle take place?
the light independent reactions occur in the thylakiod, another name you could say grana. and the Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma. and they both of coarse occur in the chloroplast of the plant cell.
