Chloroplasts cannot live on their own. They must have the cell they live in to survive. The theory is that endosymbiosis occurred millions of years ago, and the chloroplasts lost much of their self functioning genes to the host cell, depending instead on the cell to maintain life. They have become so specialized at their job within the cell, they are no longer able to support their own lives outside of it.
