Sea slugs, particularly those like the Elysia chlorotica, have a remarkable ability to incorporate chloroplasts from the algae they consume into their own cells, a process known as kleptoplasty. This allows them to harness the photosynthetic capabilities of the chloroplasts, effectively making them partially photosynthetic themselves. As a result, sea slugs can convert sunlight into energy, blurring the lines between consumer and producer in their ecological role. This unique adaptation showcases the intricate connections between diet and Biology in marine ecosystems.
