Thylakoid

A thylakoid is part of an internal membrane system of chloroplasts folded repeatedly into a stack of disks. Such stacks (grana) have light absorbing pigments and enzymes required to form ARP, NADPH, or both in photosynthesis. The stacks connect (by membranous channels) as a single functional compartment.
