Chloroplasts are vital organelles found in higher plant cells and various organisms that perform photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color, and feature a double outer membrane. Classified among different organelle types, chloroplasts are believed to have originated as endosymbiotic cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae. This fascinating evolutionary history highlights their importance in the plant cell structure and function, making them essential for life on Earth.
