Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Chloroplasts emerged when an ancestor of plants swallowed a photosynthetic microorganism. Determining the factors that formed and sustained these couplings is difficult because they occurred so ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...
