State
A chloroplast is a double-membrane plant organelle, with its own DNA and ribosomes, that carries out photosynthesis using stacked thylakoids within a stroma.
Show
Chlorophyll in the thylakoid membranes captures light energy, while sugar synthesis happens in the surrounding stroma.
Watch for
Chloroplasts belong to plant cells and some protists only — animal cells never carry them.
