The thylakoid membrane contains several types of pigments, including chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phycobilins, which are responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis. The stroma, which is the fluid-filled interior of the chloroplast, contains the enzymes necessary for the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. The lumen of the thylakoid and the periplastidial space are also important for the functioning of the chloroplast, but they do not contain the photosynthetic pigments.
