Chloroplast Very busy doing photosynthesis!

Chloroplast Oh Joy! Sunlight!

Chloroplast is preparing to photosynthesize.

Chloroplast We chloroplasts are able to perform feats well beyond human technology--the efficient splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen, and the synthesis of sugars from water and carbon dioxide to chemically store energy.

Chloroplast I love this socialist networking site even though I’m antisocial!

Chloroplast I have to make some more starch for that lazy oaf of a Mitochondrion!

Chloroplast Thanks for letting the sun’s light pass through you to me, Cell Membrane!

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MEWHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MEMADE OF: Stroma (aqueous fluid), Thylakoid, Granum, Lamella, Lumen (inside thylakoid), Cell Membranes.

FUNCTION: Photosynthesis (when plants use the energy of sunlight to convert water and Carbon dioxide into high energy carbohydrates sugars/starches-Oxygen is a waste product).Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH. The light-independent Calvin cycle uses the energy from short-lived electronically excited carriers to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds that can be used by the organism (and by animals that feed on it). This set of reactions is also called carbon fixation.

MISCELLANEOUS: I am the original “solar power plant”! My name means “the one who forms green”, Mitochondrion and I each have our own DNA and double membranes. Occasionally I store starch grains.

It is thought that once my honorable ancestors were humble cyanobacteria that were engulfed (along with proteobacterium) by prokaryotic cells. Over time, the prokaryotic cells developed a symbiotic relationship with the proteobacterium (who were now mitochondria) and my ancestors (who now were chloroplasts). This is called the endosybiotic theory.
