Because chloroplasts make their own food, the organelle: CHLOROPLAST, turns solar energy from the sun into chemical energy for food, via a process known as photosynthesis, animals, well, we just tend to buy/attain our food from other sources, we're not autotrophic!

Are chloroplasts found in animal cells or in plant cells?

Chloroplasts are found ONLY in plant cells - they are used for photosynthesis.


Which organelle Is found in most plant cells but never in animal cells?

The answer is Chloroplasts Energy enters the food chain through the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts don't exist in animal cells; they are present only in plants and some protists.


What organelle is found in most plant cells but is never found in animal cells?

chloroplasts


What might be in plant cells but never in animal cells?

Chloroplasts are always found in plants cells but not in animal cells. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants. It is found in the plant's chloroplast and is the site of photosynthesis.


Does chloroplast happen in plant cells animal cells or both?

Chloroplasts are in plants.They are never found in animals.


Chloroplasts are never found in animal cells?

Correct. Chloroplasts are organelles found only in plant cells and some protists. They are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy for the plant. Animal cells lack chloroplasts and obtain energy through other means like consuming food.


Where is majority of the chloroplasts located in?

Chloroplasts are found in plant and alga-type cells. They are organelles which contain chlorophyll. Chloroplasts use chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis to convert the sun's energy into food. Cells of algae also have chloroplasts that have the same function.


Does the hydra have chloroplasts?

Hydra is an animal. Animals never have chloroplasts


What are three ways that a plant cells is different from an animal cell?

There are a range of differences. Some are listed below: Plant cells are enclosed by a cellulose cell wall whereas animal cells are not. Some plant cells have chloroplasts whereas animal cells never have chloroplasts. Plant cells have a large, permanent central vacuole whereas animal cells have small, temporary vacuoles. Plant cells are interconnected by plasmodesmata whereas animal cells are not. Animal cells have centrioles whereas plant cells do not.


What is found in most plant cells but is never found in animal cells?

A cell wall made of cellulose, usually, and chloroplasts where photosynthesis is preformed.

What are the two major classes of cells?

There are animal cells and plant cells. Plant cells have three things an animal cell lacks, a cell wall, a large vacuole, and chloroplasts. Animal cells may have small vacuole(s) but never a large one. I hope this helps =]
