Chloroplasts in situ are surrounded by jackets of a material which does not contain chlorophyll. The chlorophyll-bearing inner structure lacks motion while the jackets constantly change shape. Long protuberances may extend from the jackets into the cytoplasm and may segment into particles that cannot be distinguished from mitochondria. Segmentation and other dynamic characteristics of living plant cells have been recorded on cine film.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
