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.

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 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.


Why is water needed in photosynthesis?

During the photosynthesis water is absorbed into the cellular structure of the plant. Sunlight then splits the water into Hydrogen & & Oxygen atoms. The absorbed Carbon dixode CO2 then reacts with the hydrogen and creates simple sugars: C6H12O6 . So without water there would be no sugar.
