Relationship status: *It's complicated*🤷

Very nice overview I recently got to read on #kleptoplasty, the process where animals or other heterotrophes take intact #chloroplasts from #algae and use them to photosynthesise for their own benefit.
Masters of it in the animal kingdom are sacoglossan sea #slugs, such as this Elysia timida pictured beautifully by Lenka Juskanicová

Using array tomography, researchers create a 3D reconstruction of the light-dependent positioning of #chloroplasts, peroxisomes, nuclei, and vacuoles in #Arabidopsis mesophyll #cells. In PNAS Nexus: https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/1/5/pgac225/6748211
