A Root cell doesn't have any Chloroplasts on them where as leaf cells do. Leaf cells need sunlight which is absorbed into the cells of the leaf: this job is done by the chloroplasts present in the cells, but when the roots are present under the ground, the cells do not need sunlight. hope u got Ur answer.

What is a difference in structure in a plant root cell and a leaf cell with a brief expanation?

A plant root cell does not have chloroplasts whereas a leaf cell has chloroplasts. This is because the roots are away from the light and need not to perform photosynthesis. On the other hand leaves are above the ground attached to the stem branches and perform photosynthsis in sunlight.


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 is the didfference between a plant root cell and a leaf cell?

A plant root cell is specialized for absorption of water and nutrients from the soil, often having root hairs for increased surface area. A leaf cell is specialized for photosynthesis, containing chloroplasts that capture sunlight for energy production. Both types of cells contain a nucleus, cytoplasm, and various organelles, but their structures and functions are adapted to their specific roles in the plant.
