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

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.
