Parent topics
- Chloroplast [r]: The green organelles found in many higher plant cells and protists. Internal thylakoid membranes contain chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place. [e]
- Organelle [r]: Specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, and is usually separately enclosed within its own lipid membrane, found in all eukaryotic cells. [e]
- Photosynthesis [r]: The process by which an organism captures and stores energy from sunlight, energy it uses to power its cellular activities. [e]
- Arthur Meyer (botanist) [r]: (1850-1922), German botanist and cell biologist, described chloroplasts and the chlorophyll-rich thylakoid grana. [e]
Subtopics
- Granum [r]: A stack of disks of thylakoid membranes in plant chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs. [e]
- Lamellae [r]: Extensions of thylakoid membranes of the grana inside eukaryotic chloroplasts, linking the grana and, by so doing, linking the thylakoid membrane lumens. [e]
- Light-harvesting complex [r]: The supercomplex of subunit proteins and pigments that gather light and direct the energy to the photosynthetic reaction centre in a photosystem. [e]

- Thylakoid membrane:
- Photosystem II [r]: A multi-subunit protein pigment complex embedded in thylakoid membranes, mediating the initial light harvesting and electron transfer steps in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis in plants, algae and cyanobacteria. [e]
