I have to make some more starch for that lazy oaf of a Mitochondrion!
Chloroplast
I love this socialist networking site even though I’m antisocial!
Chloroplast
Thanks for letting the sun’s light pass through you to me, Cell Membrane!
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.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME
MADE 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/starchesOxygen 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.
