Definition
English
:
Membranous cisternae of the CHLOROPLAST containing photosynthetic pigments, reaction centers, and the electron-transport chain. Each thylakoid consists of a flattened sac of membrane enclosing a narrow intra-thylakoid space (Lackie and Dow,
Dictionary
of
Cell Biology
, 2nd ed). Individual
thylakoids
are interconnected and tend to stack to form aggregates called grana. They are found in
cyanobacteria
and all
plants.
