Sea Slug Mucus Production Is Supported by Photosynthesis of Stolen Chloroplasts
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Kleptoplasty is the capacity of a non-photosynthetic organism to acquire and maintain structurally intact chloroplasts from its algal food source(s), thereafter termed kleptoplasts. In animals, the capacity for long-term (several weeks to months) maintenance of photosynthetic active...
