Chloroplasts moving in Elodea cells

#1 Post by tlansing » Sat Jan 29, 2022 10:14 pm

This video, filmed in real time, shows the movement of chloroplasts in Elodea cells. This is really interesting to see. The Elodea was collected from a pond in Virginia some months ago and has been happily growing in a jar near a window.
