Why are chloroplasts found in Elodea cells and not in the cells of a root tip?

becus it helps d plant much easier an more efficient to produce food an needs sunlight

Would you expect to find chloroplasts in the cells of a root?
no,because root cells do not have chloroplasts.
Does a root cell have a chloroplast?
yes, roots are apart of a plant. All plant cells have chloroplasts and therefore root cells have chloroplasts.
How would you know if a cell was a plant cell and not a root cell?
Root cells are plant cells, but they do not contain chloroplasts like leaf cells.
What 2 plant cells don't have chloroplasts?
onion cells dont contain chloroplasts as they are underground so cant photosynthesise
What kind of cell has a cell wall but not chloroplasts?
root cells in plants

no,because root cells do not have chloroplasts.
Do root cells have chloroplast?
No, root cells do not have chloroplasts.
Does a root cell have a chloroplast?
yes, roots are apart of a plant. All plant cells have chloroplasts and therefore root cells have chloroplasts.
Why do you see chloroplasts in the Elodea cell but not the onion cell?
Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont needchloroplasts, so they dont have them.
What is the difference in root hair cells and leaf cells?
root hair cells dont have chloroplasts
In what type of cells do choloroplast take place?
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. The chloroplasts use the sunlight energy to make food (sugar) for the plant. Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaf cells in plants. Cells in the top half of the leaf, called palisade cells, have many chloroplasts. Cells in the bottom half of the leaf, called spongy cells, have fewer chloroplasts. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts. For example cells inside the stem, and root cells, usually lack chloroplasts. Also the 'skin' cells (epidermis) on the leaves do not contain chloropasts.

How can you tell the difference between a root cell and a leaf cell?
A Root cell doesn't have any Chloroplasts on them where as leaf cells do. Leaf cells need sunlight which is absorbed into the cells of the leaf: this job is done by the chloroplasts present in the cells, but when the roots are present under the ground, the cells do not need sunlight. hope u got Ur answer.
What is the difference between a plant's root cell and a leaf cell?
1) Root hair cells don't have chloroplasts as they are under the ground,there is no access of light to them and they do not photosynthesize.Leaf cells do have chloroplasts. 2) Root hair cells have along narrow extension to absorb minerals,ions and water.Leaf cells d not have this extension as this is not their function.
Where in a plant would you not expect to find chloroplasts?
Root cells lack chloroplasts.Thats because they do not get light.
