The division of a chloroplast within a cell to form two or more separate chloroplast compartments. This division occurs independently of mitosis. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an organelle within a cell. An organelle is an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. Expansion of the chloroplast that usually precedes division. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a plastid. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the chloroplast. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a proton-transporting ATP synthase in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The process by which chloroplasts in photosynthetic cells migrate toward illuminated sites to optimize photosynthesis and move away from excessively illuminated areas to protect the photosynthetic machinery.
