Definitions:

Thylakoid Membrane

A membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

Stroma

The supportive framework of a biological cell, tissue, or organ. In chloroplasts, it refers to the dense fluid surround the thylakoids wherein the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

Thylakoid Compartment

The site within chloroplasts containing chlorophyll where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur, arranged in stacks or lamellae.

Calvin-Benson Cycle

The Calvin-Benson cycle is a series of biochemical redox reactions that take place in the chloroplasts of photosynthetic organisms, used to fix carbon dioxide into organic compounds.
