Green thylakoids, transparent membrane ...[edit]

The image here is very pretty but utterly misleading. It makes the whole chloroplast look green, but the only parts that are that colour in reality are the thylakoids, the chlorophyll-containing disks. They should be shown inside a transparent membrane, i.e. the whole ellipsoidal football should be clear (or some pale colour that indicates a more or less clear object), with the bright green thylakoids stacked inside it.
