... a very interesting answer to this. Firstly, we have to understand endosymbiotoc theory: the organelles responsible for photosynthesis of plants, chloroplasts are captured cyanobacteria: cyanobacteria/chloroplasts are green. Cyanobateria evolved a long time ago, but they were not the first photosynthetic ...

... differentiation along whith organs pretty close to roots, stems and leaves. 2) There is evidence supporting multiple endosymbiotic origins of chloroplasts. One of such events led prokariotic photosynthesizers (related to today's cyanobacteria) to become today's chloroplasts of green plants. ...
