Chloroplasts hold the nutrients and all that the roots do are suck it up and its stored in the chloroplasts. So chloroplast just hold in the nutrients while the roots suck up the nutrients from the soil so why would there be chloroplasts in a part of the plant that just sucks it up.

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.
What type of plant cell does not contain chloroplast in it?
The roots of a plant cell does not have any chloroplasts as they do not need it to trap sunlight.
What are two structures that plant cells have and animal cells lack?
Chloroplasts and cell walls
What organelles do plants cells have that animal cells lack?
Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts. Animal cells don't.
Why must plant cells have both mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Plants need both mitochondria and chloroplasts to maintain a healthy plant. The mitochondria power the plant when the chlorophyll is stunted by lack of sunlight.

What cells chloroplasts cell walls and vacuoles?
They are in plant cells. Animal cells lack them

Chloroplasts and cell walls
What type of plant cell lack chlorophyll?
Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Most prokaryotic cells also do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are always present in plant cells.
What other feature does a plant cell have that an animal cell lack?
Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, which animal cells do not have.
What two organelles do plant cells have that animal cells lack?
The two organelles that plant cells have that animal cells lack are: 1. Cell wall 2. Vacuole.
What organelles do plants cells have that animal cells lack?
Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts. Animal cells don't.
What does an animal cell have that plant cells don't?
Animal cells lack rigid cell walls and chloroplasts.
How are fungal cells differe from plant cells?
Fungal cells have cell walls made up of chitin. They lack chloroplasts and heterotrohic
Why must plant cells have both mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Plants need both mitochondria and chloroplasts to maintain a healthy plant. The mitochondria power the plant when the chlorophyll is stunted by lack of sunlight.
