What cell organelles do plant cells contain that animal cells do not?

the cell wall stiffens the cell and the chloroplasts make sugars for the plant. they also have larger mitochondria


Where is DNA located in plant and animal cells?

Most of plant and animal cells' DNA is found in the nucleus, although a small amount is also found in the mitochondria (in both plant and animal cells) and in the chloroplasts (in plant cells).


What are the general differences between plant and animal cells?

Animal and plant cells are almost identical except that plant cells have a cell wall and contains chloroplast (Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts). I'm also sure that animal cells also have more mitochondria than plant cells.


What cell organelles are most closely associated with energy changes in a plant?

the chloroplast and the mitochondria are the organnels closely related to energy production in plants


A plant cell has two parts that animal cells do not have they are the?

These parts are the cell wall (animal cells just have a cell membrane) and the vacuole. Plants also have chloroplasts which animal cells do not have.


Do plant Cells have mitochondria?

They do have mitochondria, though it is not as much of a power source for the plant - during the Daytime - , because chloroplasts do that job. There are mitochondria in all plant and animal Cells; otherwise the Cells would not be able to respire aerobically - during the Nighttime - , and they would obtain very little Atp from each glucose molecule. It is also found in the animal Cell, as well.


What are examples of mitochondria and chloroplasts?

Cell organellesThey are double membranous organelles. They are also self replicating


How do plant cells need both chloroplasts and mitochondria?

Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis.Mitochondria are for respiration.


What organelles are specific to a plant cell?

Cell walls, and chloroplasts are unique to plant cells. Cell walls provide structure for the plant and chloroplasts are used for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts also give plants their green color.


Do plant cells contain mitachondria?

No. Instead, they use Chloroplasts to photosynthesize and get their nutrients from the sun (also known as Heterotrophs).


Mos cells lacking a cell wall aslo lack what?

Cell walls are found in some bacteria cells and all plant cells. Plant cells have chloroplasts and one large vacuole, whereas animal cells do not have any chloroplasts, instead they have mitochondria, and they have small vacuoles. So overall, cells that don't have cell walls also lack chloroplasts and a large vacuole (which can take 25% all the way up to 90% of the volume of the cell).


Why do plant cells that contain choroplasts also have to contain mitochondria as well?

the plant uses chloroplasts to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugars. as a comparison animals absorb sugars from their diet. however in both plants and animals mitochondria are needed release energy from the sugars this is why plants have both choloplasts and mitochondria.
