Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts that form the epicentre of the photosynthetic process. These organelles contain a pigment called chlorophyll that aid in this process. Plants use this process to convert energy absorbed from light to chemical energy which can be used for growth and a variety of other cellular processes. Animals on the other hand, do not have cells containing chloroplasts. They have organelles called mitochondria that produce energy.

∙ 9y agoit only occurs in plant cells because they are autotrophs and we and all other animals are heterotrophs. we use cellular respiration which is the opposite of photosynthesis. photosynthesis is 6co2+6h2o+light=c6h12o6+6o2. cellular respiration is 6o2+c6h12o6=6co2+6h2o+energy (ATP)

What cell does photosynthesis occur in?
enoplasmic reticulum
What cell has lots of chloroplasts and photosynthesis?
Cells only have one chloroplast and it's not possible to have a photosynthesis. Plant cells are the only cells that have chloroplasts. :-)
What type of cells is chloroplasts found in?
Plant cells and algae have chloroplasts. They make the plant green and help in photosynthesis.
The place where light reactions occur in a plant?
it occurs in the chloroplast / stroma oh and light reactions can only occur in a plant and some protists because only plants and some protists can perform photosynthesis, and it is in this process which light reactions occur. other cells don't have chloroplast and stromas.
Where is the location in cell to the photosynthesis?
its located in the chloroplast which is only found in plant cells.
What cell does photosynthesis occur in?
enoplasmic reticulum
In what part of a plant cell does photosynthesis occur?
in which part of a plant cell does photosynthesis occur
Does photosynthesis occur in all living plant cells?
No, many of the plants cells do photosynthesize, but not all the cells are capable of this process. The roots are a good example of non-photosynthetic cells, and you can see this by their pale color which means they have a lack of pigment (the pigment is key in photosynthesis).
What organelle does photosythesis occur in?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.
Does photosynthesis happen in all plant cells?
No, Photosynthesis happen only in those plant cells having chloroplasts.
What cell has lots of chloroplasts and photosynthesis?
Cells only have one chloroplast and it's not possible to have a photosynthesis. Plant cells are the only cells that have chloroplasts. :-)
What provies energy but only for plant cells?
Photosynthesis.
What function is only found in plant cells?
Photosynthesis
Where in a cell does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis occurs only in plant cells. This is because only plant cells (unlike animal cells) contain chloroplasts. These chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis in the plant cell, and contain the necessary pigment of chlorophyll which is required for photosynthesis to take place. The photosynthesis equation is as follows: CO2 + H2O (in the presence of light and Chlorophyll) = energy + O2
If you examine an unknown cell under the microscope what can you infer about the organism from which it came?
A plant cell because plant cells contain photosynthesis.
Do chloroplasts conduct photosynthesis?
Yes, in plant cells only.
What type of cells is chloroplasts found in?
Plant cells and algae have chloroplasts. They make the plant green and help in photosynthesis.
