Detailed explanation-1: -Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs energy from blue-and red-light waves, and reflects green-light waves, making the plant appear green.
Detailed explanation-2: -The green pigment chlorophyll is located within the thylakoid membrane, and the space between the thylakoid and the chloroplast membranes is called the stroma (Figure 3, Figure 4).
Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -What pigment is found inside a thylakoid? What color will it be? Chlorophyll, green. Light-capturing pigments in the grana are organized into photosystems.
Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll pigment is present in chloroplasts. In a chloroplast, thylakoid membranes have chlorophyll pigments embedded in them. The chlorophyll pigments actually capture light energy. Hence light reactions occur in thylakoid membranes.
