What is likely to happen is that the isolated chloroplasts will make ATP. A thylakoid is a sheet-like membrane-bound structure that is the site of the light dependent photosynthesis reactions in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. It is the that contains the chlorophyll used to absorb light and use it for biochemical reactions.
