It is a matter of the structure of the plant cell and the use of them. Plants need chloroplasts to absorb light and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide to produce sugars, the raw material for energy production in all green plants. Animals cannot do that. It is where photosynthesis takes place. there they produce energy (ATP), they reduce NADP to NADPH through a complex set of processes.

Why do only plant cells have chloroplasts?
Only plant cells contain chloroplasts because they are used to help make food for the plant. Chloroplasts are used in the photosynthesis process.
Are both chloroplasts and mitochondria found in plant and animal cell?
Im sure that Chloroplasts are only found in Plant cells and Mitochondria found in Animal Cells and Plant cells
What do animal cells not have?
Compared to plant cells, they do not have cell walls nor chloroplasts.
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 structure does a plant cell have that animal cells do not have?
The cell wall is a structure that plant cells, bacteria cells, and fungal cells have but animal cells do not.Chloroplasts are organelles that plant cells have but bacteria cells, fungal cells, and animal cells do not.
Do a plant or animal cells contains a chloroplasts?
okay, animal cells don't have chloroplasts!! only plant cells do!! chloroplasts give the plant its green color!!
What has chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells.
Are Chloroplasts fogbound in animal cells or plant cells?
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, not animal cells.
What do chloroplasts in plant cells do?
Chloroplasts make a plant green.
What do only plant cells posses?
Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells.
All plant cells contain chloroplast?
Yes, all plant cells have chloroplasts. Plant cells are the only cells that have chloroplasts, actually. No- Most Cells of Plant Roots do not!
Are chloroplasts found in eukaryotes?
if they are plant cells
Are chloroplasts in plant or animal cells?
Plants have chloroplasts, which contain the pigment chlorophyll, which is why they are green. Chloroplasts are never in animals.
Do animal and plant cells contain chloroplasts?
Animal cells do not have.Plant cells have chloroplasts.
What do Chloroplasts do in animal and plant cells?
Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells and not in animal cells. Their function is to help convert sunlight into energy for the plant.
Where are Thylakoid sacs are found?
In light dependent reactions.
What type of cells is chloroplasts found in?
Plant cells and algae have chloroplasts. They make the plant green and help in photosynthesis.
