Plants have chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, in order to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water by utilizing light energy. Because humans are animals, and therefor use far more energy than plants, we cannot produce enough energy by making our own food. Thus, we don't need chloroplasts. Plants also have cell walls, in order to allow them to support themselves, because they don't have a skeleton.

How do antibiotics work to target bacteria without causing harm to the surrounding human cells?

Antibiotics work by targeting specific structures or processes in bacteria that are essential for their survival, such as cell wall formation or protein synthesis. These structures or processes are not present in human cells, so the antibiotics are able to selectively kill the bacteria without harming human cells.

What two structures are not present in a human cheek cell but would be present in a cell from the leaf of a French bean plant?

Chloroplasts and a cell wall are two structures that would be present in a cell from the leaf of a French bean plant but not in a human cheek cell. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, while the cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells.

If 2.2 picograms of DNA could be extracted from a certain number of human muscle cells about how many picograms of DNA could be extracted from the same number of human gamete cells?

Since human body cells (like muscle cells) contain twice the amount of DNA present in human gamete cells, roughly 1.1 pg of DNA can be expected out of human gamete cells
