Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and other eukaryotic organisms that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy to conserve free energy in the form of ATP and reduce NADP to NADPH through a complex set of processes called photosynthesis.

The word chloroplast is derived from the Greek words chloros, which means green, and plast, which means form or entity. Chloroplasts are members of a class of organelles known as plastids.

What has flagella, a peptidoglycan cell wall, and ribosomes but lacks chloroplasts?
Q. This is a question off of my AP-Bio homework that I cant get! "A biologist isolates green-colored organisms from a sample of water from a pond. They contain flagella, a peptidoglycan cell wall, and ribosomes but lacks chloroplasts? They are classafied as: a- plant cells b- photosynthetic animal cells c- photosynthetic viruses d- moss e- photosynthetic cyanobacteria Im stumped. What do you think?

A. e- photosynthetic cyanobacteria. Bacteria has all the three that you mentioned.

A. You can see larger chloroplasts with low power magnification, about 100X. To see more details, you could observe the major features with 400X or even 1000X. But to see the grana and thylakoid membranes you would need an electron microscope with at least 10,000X magnification or higher.

Q. I like to study mitochodria and chloroplasts, but i can't find three characteristics that support the endosymbiotic hypothesis.

A. They have their on set of genetic information. They have ribosomes attached to them (ressembling the size/structure of bacteria) When an organism containing them divides by mitosis they replicate by binary fission and bacteria reproduce this way as well.
