Biology:Quantasome

From HandWiki

Quantasomes are particles found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in which photosynthesis takes place.

An individual quantasome is measured to be about 185 Å long, 155 Å wide, and 100 Å thick.[1] Molecular weight and density measurements have indicated that one quantasome contains 230 chlorophyll molecules.
