How do chloroplasts move on their own?

Published in Plant Cell Biology 1 min read

Chloroplasts move with the help of actin and myosin filaments.

The movement of chloroplasts inside a plant cell relies on the interaction of:

  • Actin Filaments: These are long, thin fibers that provide a track or pathway.
  • Myosin: Myosin interacts with the actin filaments to facilitate the movement.

These components work together to enable chloroplasts to move within the cell.
