Internal Name chloroplast

Filled with a green pigment called chlorophyll, it uses the energy gathered from Sunlight sunlight to produce Glucose glucose from water and gaseous Carbon Dioxide carbondioxide. This process is called Photosynthesis.

As Photosynthesis requires Sunlight 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 sunlight + Carbon Dioxide carbondioxideGlucose glucose + Oxygen 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 glucose storage is needed to survive the night. This can be provided by Vacuoles.
