Question

Plants, algae, and many single-celled organisms can photosynthesize using a specialized cell organelle called a chloroplast. Do you think all organisms that photosynthesize have chloroplasts? Use evidence from the video to explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The chloroplast is an organelle through which photosynthesis takes place. While the light reaction takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, the light-independent reaction or the Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Answer 2

No, not all organisms that photosynthesize have chloroplasts. Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, so they lack most organelles defined by a membrane. They don’t have chloroplasts, but they photosynthesize.
