|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0009507 | chloroplast | A chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma. | 224 |
| GO:0009570 | chloroplast stroma | The space enclosed by the double membrane of a chloroplast but excluding the thylakoid space. It contains DNA, ribosomes and some temporary products of photosynthesis. | 201 |
| GO:0009941 | chloroplast envelope | The double lipid bilayer enclosing the chloroplast and separating its contents from the rest of the cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space. | 180 |
| GO:0009535 | chloroplast thylakoid membrane | The pigmented membrane of a chloroplast thylakoid. An example of this component is found in Arabidopsis thaliana. | 48 |
| GO:0009534 | chloroplast thylakoid | Sac-like membranous structures (cisternae) in a chloroplast combined into stacks (grana) and present singly in the stroma (stroma thylakoids or frets) as interconnections between grana. An example of this component is found in Arabidopsis thaliana. | 18 |
| GO:0010319 | stromule | Thin filamentous structure extending from the surface of all plastid types examined so far, including chloroplast, proplastid, etioplast, leucoplast, amyloplast, and chromoplast. In general, stromules are more abundant in tissues containing non-green plastids, and in cells containing smaller plastids. The primary function of stromules is still unresolved, although the presence of stromules markedly increases the plastid surface area, potentially increasing transport to and from the cytosol. Other functions of stromules, such as transfer of macromolecules between plastids and starch granule formation in cereal endosperm, may be restricted to particular tissues and cell types. | 17 |
| GO:0009543 | chloroplast thylakoid lumen | The cavity enclosed within the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. An example of this component is found in Arabidopsis thaliana. | 10 |
| GO:0009533 | chloroplast stromal thylakoid | Unstacked thylakoids that connect the grana stacks through the stroma. | 9 |
| GO:0020011 | apicoplast | The plastid organelle found in apicomplexans. | 8 |
| GO:0044434 | chloroplast part | Any constituent part of a chloroplast, a chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma. | 7 |
| GO:0009516 | leucoplast | A colorless plastid involved in the synthesis of monoterpenes. | 4 |
| GO:0009526 | plastid envelope | The double lipid bilayer enclosing a plastid and separating its contents from the rest of the cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space. | 3 |
| GO:0031969 | chloroplast membrane | Either of the lipid bilayers that surround a chloroplast and form the chloroplast envelope. | 3 |
| GO:0009706 | chloroplast inner membrane | The inner, i.e. lumen-facing, lipid bilayer of the chloroplast envelope; also faces the chloroplast stroma. | 3 |
| GO:0010287 | plastoglobule | A lipoprotein particle present in chloroplasts. They are rich in non-polar lipids (triglycerides, esters) as well as in prenylquinones, plastoquinone and tocopherols. Plastoglobules are often associated with thylakoid membranes, suggesting an exchange of lipids with thylakoids. | 3 |
| GO:0009840 | chloroplastic endopeptidase Clp complex | A Clp endopeptidase complex located in the chloroplast. | 2 |
| GO:0042644 | chloroplast nucleoid | The region of a chloroplast to which the DNA is confined. | 1 |
| GO:0009707 | chloroplast outer membrane | The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the chloroplast envelope. | 1 |
