<Robin Hill> reported oxygen evolution by isolated <chloroplasts>. Studying the organelle separately from the whole plant connects a component of <photosynthesis> with a defined subcellular preparation.
The experiment asks whether the light-driven oxygen-producing machinery can remain functional after isolation. It helped make photosynthesis accessible to direct biochemical analysis.<Oxygen Evolved by Isolated Chloroplasts by Robin Hill>[1937, public opening paragraph]{ref}
<Biochemist>.
