Photosynthetic pigments found in the chloroplasts occur in

1. thylakoid membranes
2. plastoglobules
3. matrix
4. chloroplast envelope

Correct answer: thylakoid membranes

Solution

Photosynthetic pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids are part of the photosystems, which are embedded in the thylakoid membranes. These membranes are the site of the light-dependent reactions, so they contain the pigment-protein complexes needed to capture light.
