The thylakoid membranes of higher plants are composed primarily of phospholipids [5] and galactolipids that are asymmetrically arranged along and across the membranes. [6] Thylakoid membranes are richer in galactolipids rather than phospholipids; also they predominantly consist of hexagonal phase II forming monogalacotosyl diglyceride lipid.
This plastoquinol is later oxidized back to PQ, releasing the 2e-to the cytochrome b 6 f complex and the two H + ions into the thylakoid lumen. The electrons then pass through Cyt b 6 and Cyt f to plastocyanin, using energy from photosystem I to pump hydrogen ions (H +) into the thylakoid space.

Reaction centers are multi-protein complexes found within the thylakoid membrane. At the heart of a photosystem lies the reaction center, which is an enzyme that uses light to reduce and oxidize molecules (give off and take up electrons). This reaction center is surrounded by light-harvesting complexes that enhance the absorption of light.
The thylakoids appear as flattened disks. The thylakoid itself is enclosed by the thylakoid membrane, and within the enclosed volume is a lumen or thylakoid space. Embedded in the thylakoid membrane are integral and peripheral membrane protein complexes of the photosynthetic system. Plants absorb light primarily using the pigment chlorophyll ...
Within the envelope membranes, in the region called the stroma, there is a system of interconnecting flattened membrane compartments, called the thylakoids.The thylakoid membrane is quite similar in lipid composition to the inner envelope membrane, containing 78% galactolipids, 15.5% phospholipids and 6.5% sulfolipids in spinach chloroplasts. [3]
Within the stroma are grana (stacks of thylakoid), the sub-organelles where photosynthesis is started [2] before the chemical changes are completed in the stroma. [3] Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH.
