chloroplast

In that case, these outer cells should be equipped with green chloroplasts, the organs used for photosynthesis—after all, this is where the most sunlight falls.

These animals can take the green sunlight-trapping energy factories called chloroplasts from algae.

The plants seemed to have simply ditched their entire chloroplast genome.

What might help Elysia slugs manage such extreme regrowth is their ability to steal the tiny green sunlight-trapping energy factories called chloroplasts from plants, the researchers muse.

Yusa, however, has linked the looted chloroplasts to such consequential matters as improved reproduction.

In each assimilating cell there is usually a single large chloroplast.

The large chloroplast in each half is composed of six longitudinal plates, united at the axis of the cell.
