Not really. Prokaryotes can be pigmented but don't have the specific organelle termed a "Chloroplast". Those only occur in Eukaryotes.

Are organelles only found in eukaryotic cells?

Yes. Prokaryotes are much too small to carry chloroplasts. It is theorized that chloroplasts were once prokaryotes that started a symbiotic relations with early eukaryotic cells, which explains why chloroplasts and mitochondria are found in the eukaryotic cell.

RBS stands for ribosome bonding sites. Putative RBS happens in chloroplasts and these can be found also in prokaryotes in chemistry.

Are any organelles present in only plant cells?

Every cell has organelles. Prokaryotes were once thought to have no organelles but some have been found now. Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles and prokaryotes do not.


Why are there several chloroplasts in a plant cell?

Endosymbiosis suggests that the prokaryotes engulfed small prokaryotes. The larger prolaryote provided nutrients and the smaller prokaryote supplied ATP molecules.

What is the evidence for endosymbiotic hypothesis?

The endosymbiotic hypothesis postulates that an early eukaryotic cells lacking mitochondria and chloroplasts phagocytosed early aerobic prokaryotes and photosynthetic prokaryotes and rather than


Is chlorophyll a eukaryotic or prokaryotic?

no chloroplast is not present in prokaryotes because it is a type of plastid and plastids are membrane bounded organelles and prokaryotes donot have membrane bounded organelles. so chloroplast is only present in eukaryotes(in plants and some algae)
