The 48 pages that link to Chloroplast, each with the reason it gives.

• PhotosynthesisBroader topic: Its thylakoid membranes and stroma house the major stages of photosynthesis.

• Endosymbiotic theoryBroader topic: Chloroplasts trace to photosynthetic bacteria incorporated into eukaryotic ancestors.

• CyanobacteriaBroader topic: Its bacterial ancestry links oxygen-producing photosynthesis in eukaryotes to cyanobacteria.

• SymbiosisBroader topic: Its origin records the incorporation of a photosynthetic partner into a cell.

• OrganelleBroader topic: Chloroplasts specialize in photosynthesis within plant and algal cells.

• ArchaeplastidaBroader topic: It is the best-known photosynthetic form of the plastid inherited across much of the clade.

• ChemiosmosisBroader topic: Its thylakoid membrane uses a proton gradient to drive ATP synthesis.

• Lynn MargulisBroader topic: Margulis argued that chloroplasts descend from photosynthetic bacteria incorporated by ancestral cells.

• Plant cellBroader topic: Chloroplasts let many plant cells make sugars from light, carbon dioxide, and water.

• Primary endosymbiosisBroader topic: Chloroplasts are familiar examples of plastids ultimately derived from primary endosymbiosis.

• PlastidBroader topic: Chloroplasts are the best-known plastids, converting light energy into chemical energy.

• Chlorophyll aBroader topic: Its thylakoid membranes organize chlorophyll a into photosystems.

• SymbiogenesisBroader topic: Chloroplasts arose when ancestral eukaryotes integrated photosynthetic cyanobacteria.

• Plastid DNABroader topic: Chloroplasts are the best-known plastids whose genomes are studied.
