Plants cells have chloroplasts because they need it for a process called photosynthesis. But both plant and animal cells have mitochondria. Animal cells can use the mitochondria to get energy that why they need chloroplast.

Is the choroplast found in the plant cell or animal cell?

Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells. If they were in animal cells, people would be green.


How you could tell the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?

Plant cells have a cell wall to provide structural support for the cell. Plant cells also have a large permanent vacuole whereas animal cells are small and temporary. Plants have chloroplast which contain chlorophyll (the stuff that makes plants green). Instead of glycogen in animal cells which r the carbohydrate stores, plants cells have starch in the cytoplasm or cytoplasts which is how they store carbs!! HTH!


Is it easy to tell animal cells form plant cells?

The plant cell will have a square shape, to a degree, as the cell wall is in plant cells and not animal cells. You can see the green of chloroplasts and usually a large central vacuole. Animal cell more round and not having the " extras " listed above.


How can someone determine whether they are plant or animal cells?

Basic differences: Animal cells have no cell wall, plant cells have a cell wall in addition to their cell membrane, which gives them their rigid shape. Plant cells also have a space inside them called a large vacuole for sugar in the form of glucose. Additionally many plant cells have chloroplasts which contain the green chemical chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Exceptions include cells below the soil.


Plant cells are green and animal cells are not This is because only plant cells contain what?

ChloroplastsExplanation...Plant cells contain chloroplasts, which are made up of a substance called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plant cells their green color.Chloroplasts are the cell structures in which food is produced in plants and some unicellular organisms, such as algae and some protists.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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!!


Does a Animal Cell have a chloroplast?

No, animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and some protists, where they are responsible for photosynthesis. Animal cells obtain energy through other organelles like mitochondria.


Do both plant and animal cells have chloroplasts?

No, both plant and animal cells do not have chloroplast. Plant cells have chloroplast that is why their leaves are green. Such as animals they do not. K.K

Is there chloroplasts in animal cells?

There is NO chloroplasts in animal cells. There is only in plant cells because chloroplasts give plants there green color.

Does plants have plant cell?

lots of stuff, but remember this especially, it has a cell wall; which animal cells do not, and chloroplast, which makes the plant green, also which animal cells do not have.


Is chlorophyll found in plant or animal cells?

Plants. :) It's the green stuff that helps with photosynthesis.
