thylakoid https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/13958 Wikipedia:Thylakoid cellular_component GO:0009579 A thylakoid is not considered an organelle, but some thylakoids are part of organelles. photosynthetic membrane A membranous cellular structure that bears the photosynthetic pigments in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. In cyanobacteria thylakoids are of various shapes and are attached to, or continuous with, the plasma membrane. In eukaryotes they are flattened, membrane-bounded disk-like structures located in the chloroplasts; in the chloroplasts of higher plants the thylakoids form dense stacks called grana. Isolated thylakoid preparations can carry out photosynthetic electron transport and the associated phosphorylation. intracellular membraneless organelle
