Lesson 2: An Introduction to Thylakoids

We've learnt about the Chloroplast before. They are small, flattened organelles surrounded by a double membrane. They are found in plants and algae and convert sunlight to ATP.

  • Chloroplast contain photosynthetic pigments like 'Chlorophyll-A', 'Chlorophyll-B', and 'Carotene'.
  • They are coloured pigments that absorb the light energy needed for photosynthesis.
  • The pigments are found in their thylakoid membranes and are attached to proteins.
