WHAT DOES THYLAKOID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Thylakoid

A thylakoid is a membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Thylakoids consist of a thylakoid membrane surrounding a thylakoid lumen. Chloroplast thylakoids frequently form stacks of disks referred to as grana. Grana are connected by intergranal or stroma thylakoids, which join granum stacks together as a single functional compartment.

Definition of thylakoid in the English dictionary

The definition of thylakoid in the dictionary is a small membranous sac within a chloroplast of a plant.
