Some marine slugs sequester plastids from their algae food, which can remain photosynthetically functional in the animal's digestive gland cells in the absence of algal nuclei. The sequestered plastids (kleptoplasts) appear to maintain functional photosystems through a greater autonomy than land plant plastids. If so, kleptoplast robustness is a plastid-intrinsic property, and it depends on the animal to manage an alien organelle on the loose in order to maintain it long term.
有些海洋蛞蝓从它们的藻类食物中摄取叶绿体，这些叶绿体在没有藻类细胞核的情况下仍能在动物的消化腺细胞中保持光合作用功能。被摄取的叶绿体（偷来的叶绿体）似乎通过比陆地植物叶绿体更大的自主性来维持功能的光合作用系统。如果是这样，偷来的叶绿体的稳健性是叶绿体内在的特性，它取决于动物来管理游离的细胞器，以使其长期维持。
