Answer:

Chlorophyll

Explanation:

Thylakoids contain the light-absorbing pigment chlorophyll, which enables photosynthesis to proceed within the chloroplasts. Thylakoids don’t contain autotrophs, heterotrophs, or cytoplasm.

The chloroplast contains chlorophyll within its thylakoids, which absorbs light energy and gives chloroplasts its green color. Stacks of thylakoids are known as grana, which exist in the open space of the chloroplast known as the stroma.
