It uses the chloroplast as the algae uses them. It doesn’t really it them it uses them to photosynthesize. If you took the wing off the chicken and used it to fly you could say that was stealing its wing

“Stealing”? Am I “stealing” fat from the food I eat? Since when is retaining some components of what you consume equivalent to theft?

I assume chloroplast is much more complex than fat and we do actually have fat within our body, while the slug doesn’t naturally grow chloroplast.

Can we learn how to steal the chloroplastic piracy of the algea?
