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.
The cell organelle you are referring to is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells and contain stroma (fluid-filled region) and stacks of thylakoids (membranous sacs where photosynthesis occurs).
The disk-shaped sacs suspended in the stroma are called thylakoids. They contain the chlorophyll pigment and are the sites where light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place. Thylakoids are interconnected to form grana, which are stacks of thylakoids found 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.
The thylakoid membrane is organized into distinct regions, including the thylakoid lumen, the stroma, and the thylakoid membrane itself, which is further categorized into stacked (grana) and unstacked (stroma thylakoids) regions. The thylakoid lumen contains the proteins and ions necessary for photosynthesis, while the stroma is the fluid surrounding the thylakoids that houses enzymes for the Calvin cycle. The thylakoid membrane contains chlorophyll and other pigments, which are essential for capturing light energy during photosynthesis.
grana, where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur. It contains enzymes, DNA, and ribosomes for protein synthesis. The stroma is the site of the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis.

Thylakoid membrane, like mitochondrial cristae, contains the elements of the plant electron transport chain.
The disk-shaped sacs suspended in the stroma are called thylakoids. They contain the chlorophyll pigment and are the sites where light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place. Thylakoids are interconnected to form grana, which are stacks of thylakoids found in chloroplasts.
Grana are defined as the stacks of thylakoids embedded in the stroma of a chloroplast. The adaptive value of the breakdown of chlorophyll is that the important minerals it contains can be re-cycled.

Chloroplasts contain membranes called thylakoids. Thylakoids are flattened and arranged in stacks called grana. The space between the grana is called the stroma. Chlorophyll is the green substance in the thylakoids which gathers light for photosynthesis.
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!
Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures found within chloroplasts in plant cells and in the cells of some photosynthetic organisms, such as cyanobacteria. They contain chlorophyll and other pigments essential for photosynthesis, facilitating the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. Thylakoids are organized into stacks known as grana, which are interconnected by stroma thylakoids.
Chloroplast has two parts. First is grana and another is stroma. Stroma is the ground material present in chloroplast. Grana is again divided in smaller units called thylakoids. Thylakoids are the centers of the light reaction of photosynthesis and chlorophyll are green pigments necessary for light reaction. Therefore it is easily understandable that chlorophyll is present in grana of chloroplast.
