Do human and plant cells make food from sunlight?
Plant cells make food using energy from sunlight. Humans do not.
Can animal cells make food from sunlight?
No they can't but Plant cells can.
What food molecule do plant cells make what in sunlight?
chloryphyll
Can both plant and animal cells make food from sunlight?
no only plants can
Why are chloroplast found in plant cells and not animal cells?
plant cells have chloroplast because it needs to store sunlight and to make food whereas human cells take energy from the food we eat
What kind of cells contains chloroplasts?
Plant Cells---------------------------------------------------Plant cells use sunlight as their energy source, and the sunlight must be converted into energy inside the cell in a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are the structures that perform this function.Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not make food from sunlight.
Why can't animals make their own food using sunlight?
In plant cells, they have little bags called chloroplasts which hold Chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are what give plants their green colour, as well as their ability to photosynthesise, and are held in the cytoplasm. Animal cells do not have Chloroplasts or chlorophyll.
What is used to plant cells to make food?
if you mean what is used in plants cells to make food then its through a process called photosynthesis in which light, carbon dioxide and water (dihydroxide) bond to form glucose which in turn bond to form starch. h2o +co2 +sunlight ---> c6 h12 o6 + 02 the chemical in plant cells which helps plants make food is called chlorophyll and it absorbs sunlight.
Leaf cells in plants contain chloroplasts that help the cell make its own food through?
natural sunlight
Why can't cells use sunlight to make food?
Plant cells which are equipped with chlorophyll are able to use sunlight as an energy source to drive chemical reactions that make sugar. Other cells that do not have chlorophyll are not able to do this. Note that we human beings do have some capability to make vitamin D in our skin, using the energy of sunlight. So we too perform a type of photosynthesis.
Plant cells make their own food by taking in what?
Nutients and water absorbed into the earth
What must cells have enough of to release energy from food?
Sunlight
