Descriptor tilacoides
Entry term(s) grana
membrana tilacoide
Scope note: Cisternas membranosas del cloroplasto que contienen pigmentos fotosintéticos, centros de reacción y la cadena de transporte de electrones. Cada tilacoide consta de un saco membranoso plano que encierra al espacio intra-tilacoide. (Lackie and Dow, Dictionary of Cell Biology, 2nd ed). Los tilacoides individuales están interconectados y tienden a apilarse formando agregados denominados grana. Se encuentran en las cianobacterias y en todas las plantas.

Scope note: Membranous cisternae of the CHLOROPLAST containing photosynthetic pigments, reaction centers, and the electron-transport chain. Each thylakoid consists of a flattened sac of membrane enclosing a narrow intra-thylakoid space (Lackie and Dow, Dictionary of Cell Biology, 2nd ed). Individual thylakoids are interconnected and tend to stack to form aggregates called grana. They are found in cyanobacteria and all plants.
