Filled with a green pigment called chlorophyll, it uses the energy gathered from Sunlight 
to produce Glucose 
from water and gaseous Carbon Dioxide 
. This process is called Photosynthesis.
As Photosynthesis requires Sunlight to work, it is only effective in surface patches. It is also the eukaryotic counterpart to Thylakoids.
Requirements
A cell must have a Nucleus to evolve Chloroplasts.
If organelle unlocks are enabled in game settings, the following condition must be true for the player cell:
- Contains at least 5 Thylakoids for at least 7 generations in a row.
Processes
Photosynthesis: Sunlight + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen 
A full-strength version of Chromatophore Photosynthesis found in Thylakoids. This allows you to more efficiently taste the sun! Similarity to it's prokaryotic counterpart, Chloroplasts perform Photosynthesis only in light patches; the closer to the surface your cell is, the more effective this process becomes.
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
No special effects.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
Chloroplasts are the biggest organelle other than the Nucleus, with a high osmoregulation cost and weight.
When playing with the day/night cycle enabled, a lot of Glucose storage is needed to survive the night. This can be provided by Vacuoles.
Scientific Background
