Yes. Considering it doesn't die in a plant cell, it is.

__

By definition, chloroplasts aren't alive. To be alive, the 'thing' must carry out all life processes. A cell is the smallest thing that can carry out said life process. Being that a chloroplast is part of the cell, it is not technically alive.

TL;DR No, it's not alive

How do chloroplasts set plants apart from living things?

Chloroplasts set plants apart from other living things in that they are the only parts of a cell that do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants (mostly the chloroplasts) use sun and carbon dioxide to make food and create oxygen. Photosynthesis sets plants apart and chloroplasts do photosynthesis.


Two organelles that contain their own genetic material?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are two organelles that contain their own genetic material. Both are involved in energy production; mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration, while chloroplasts perform photosynthesis in plant cells. Their DNA is circular and resembles bacterial DNA, supporting the endosymbiotic theory, which suggests that these organelles originated from free-living prokaryotes.


Green material in plants leaves?

Does Chloroplasts occur in all living things?

No, chloroplasts are primarily found in the cells of plants and some algae. They are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Animals do not have chloroplasts in their cells.
