→About Chloroplasts
: '''Chloroplasts''' have their own [[DNA]] inside them which suggests they were once an independent [[organism]] that migrated into the early [[Eukaryotic Cell|eukaryotic cells]] that became [[Plant Cell|plant cells]].
: [[Chloroplast]]s are found in most [[Plant Cell|plant cells]] and in some [[protist]]s such as [[Euglena]].
: Many [[chloroplast]]s are found in the [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] in the [[Leaf|leaves]] of [[plant]]s, particularly the [[Palisade Cell|palisade cells]].: [[Chloroplast]]s contain a green pigment called [[chlorophyll]] which allows it to perform [[photosynthesis]].: The [[chloroplast]] is where [[photosynthesis]] takes place in a [[plant]].: Some [[Specialised Plant Cell|specialised plant cells]] do not have [[chloroplast]]s, such as [[Root Hair Cell]]s. This is because they are are underground so they don't get any light for [[photosynthesis]].
