Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.

whereas those from chloroplasts actually imported ATP and were unable to support the energy needs of the endosymbiotic cells,” Mehta said. The land plant chloroplast translocases were importing ...
