- Photosynthesizing organelles of all of the photosynthetic eukaryotes
- The most successful thing so far humans have produced is is the chloroplasts solar power system
- It is enclosed by the inner membrane and the outer membrane which are separated by a thin intermembrane space
- The inner membrane has a compartment that holds thick fluid called stroma and it contains enzymes, ribosomes, and the chloroplasts DNA
- In the inside of chloroplasts there are a network of interconnected sacs, thylakoids
- Thylakoids contain compartments in this sac and it is called thylakoid space
- These thylakoids ocassionally stack together like Pringles and each of the stacks are called granum
