The sea slug (a mollusc) Elysia chorotica has no nematocysts or dinoflagellates

Question

The sea slug (a mollusc) Elysia chorotica has no nematocysts or dinoflagellates but, rather, has "naked" chloroplasts in its skin. The chloroplasts are all that remain of the seaweed that Elysia feeds upon. The chloroplasts are transferred to the skin; consequently, this slug is green. It spends most of its time basking in shallow water on the surface of seaweeds. How should we expect its chloroplasts to benefit the Elysia sca slug? it gets reduced Carbon compounds it can use to synthesize sugar, for energy 0 it gets bright colors to warn predators, using display mimicry based on the green sea anenomes that live nearby the chloroplasts reduce Nitrogen from NO2 to NH3 reduce Nitrogen trom Nog to Nt it gets a lower level of oxygen, a potent oxidizing chemical
