When the organism Elysia pusilla feeds on Halimeda, it can actually incorporate these organelles into their bodies. Atrazine resistance can be introduced with a single base change to 110000 to 160000 base pair genome of this organelle. Electron microscopy of this organelle reveals alternating dark and light bands, which point to a sub-structure that itself contains antenna complexes. A study of heterokonts seems to indicate that these organelles resulted from multiple endosymbiosis of (*) cyanobacteria. One substance produced by this organelle is beta-cryptoxanthin, which can be converted to retinal much like a class of four compounds produced here called the carotenoids. This organelle contains an aqueous fluid known as stroma, along with grana stacks of thylakoid membranes. For 10 points, identify these plastids primarily found in photosynthetic organisms, which produce chlorophyll.
