Name a type of plant cell that may not have chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts need sunlight for development. However, there are plants that do not have chloroplasts and therefore, do not need sunlight. Some of these plants include rhizomes, tubers, and root crops. Window leaf plants and parasitic plants also do not have chloroplasts.

Root cells are plant cells, but they do not contain chloroplasts like leaf cells.


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.


What does a palisade cell have that a root hair cell does not?

The main function of the palisade cell if for photosynthesis because it has alot of chloroplact so it is useless if it is found in the roots where it has no job there. Palisade cells are found on the top part of the leaf to get as much sunlight as possible.


What plant cell has a large surface area and no chloroplasts?

Root hair cells have a large surface area due to their long, thin extensions that increase absorption of water and minerals from the soil. These cells do not contain chloroplasts as they are not involved in photosynthesis.


How can you tell the cell is from a leaf and not from a root?
