What extra organelles do plants have?
Plant cells have to have some extra organelles because they perform photosynthesis. These organelles are called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll.
Mitochondria and chloroplast are examples of this?
The Organelles
What organelles does a plant cell have different than an amimal cell?
Plant cells have thylakoid, which is where photosynthesis takes place. There are many terms associated with these organelles, too.
Plant organelles that store starches or lipids or that contain lipids?
Plant organelles that store starches or lipids are called plastids, but not the chloroplasts.
What are the roles of chloroplast and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
The role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis is the absorption of light allowing the plant to obtain energy from the light. Chloroplasts are the organelles in the plant that store the chlorophyll.
What green organelles in the cytoplasm of plant cell?
They are called chloroplasts.They are site of photosynthesis.
What extra organelles do plants have?
Plant cells have to have some extra organelles because they perform photosynthesis. These organelles are called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll.
What is the green organelles called from elodea leaves?
they are called chloroplasts and they help to preform photosynthesis in the plant cell.
Organelles in plant cells that function in photosynthesis or storage are called?
Organelles in plant cells that function in photosynthesis or storage are called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the sun. Vacuoles are involved in storage of soluble carbohydrates or proteins.
In what part of a plant cell does photosynthesis occur?
in which part of a plant cell does photosynthesis occur
What chemical reaction is taking place in the green organelles in plant cells?
This chemical reaction is called photosynthesis.
Mitochondria and chloroplast are examples of this?
The Organelles
In what part of the plants does photosynthesis occurs in?
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, which are organelles in the cells of the plant leaf.
What part in the organelle of a plant's cell does photosynthesis take place?
This question needs to be more defined. Plants have many organelles. The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs is called a chloroplast.
What is an organelles in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs?
Chloroplasts, Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called Chlorophyll which trap sunlight.
What organelle are associated with plant photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts are the organelle that conduct photosynthesis
Is chloroplast a membrane?
No. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis.
