Best Answer

Some bacteria have chloroplasts. For example, cyanobacteria. They are photosynthetic bacteria

No, bacteria do not have chloroplasts because they are prokaryotic which means they can't have membrane bound organelles other than ribosomes.. Chloroplasts are membrane bound organelles.

As for the cyanobacteria, they are indeed photosynthetic, but they still don't have chloroplasts. It is somewhat misleading. They were once called blue-green algae (they even fooled earlier scientists) but are now considered bacteria because they lack a membrane bound nucleus and chloroplasts.
