Plant cells and solar cells BOTH convert sunlight into energy.

In the case of plants it is chemical energy - for solar cells it is electricity.

Plants use organic processes but solar cells use inorganic semiconductors.

CellWhat plant organelle serves a function similar to solar panels on a house?

A chloroplast is most like a solar cell. It absorbs light which begins photosynthesis in plants. Photosynthesis provides a plant with the energy, a.k.a. ATP, to go about the activities it must to do live.


What non-living thing is similar to the function of chloroplasts?

Solar panels are similar to the function of chloroplasts in plants. They both capture energy from the sun and convert it into a usable form - chloroplasts convert sunlight into chemical energy for the plant, while solar panels convert sunlight into electricity for human use.


What structure in an animal cell performs a function similar to the cell wall in a plant cell?

The cell membrane. However, a plant's cell wall is rigid while the cell membrane is not. Plant cells also have a cell membrane.The cell membrane protects the cell and holds it together.(Plant cells have them too, however. One of their main functions is to regulate what comes in and goes out of the cell).


How are plant and animal cells similar?

The plant and animal cells are similar in many ways.There are only a few differences like presence of cell wall, presence of chloroplasts, absence of centrioles in plants. The only thing not similar about the two is a plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplasts. Everything else is the same. Animal cells and plant cells both have a nucleus, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, and mitochondria


What company or place does the chloroplasts resemble in a cell city?

the chloroplast is a clear gel like material found throughout the cell that aids in movement of materials throughout the cell. it also helps the cell maintain its shape and perform many chemical reactions. it resembles someone who doesnt like to do their homework like u. yea u. dont edit this. cheating is bad. haha u have been pranked.

What part of a plant cell is most similar to a solar cell?

Solar cells are not like leaves of plants in almost every fashion. The similarity is that they both get their energy from the sun, however the solar cell gets this energy in a completely different fashion when compared to a leaf.

Is the cell membrane a plant or an animal cell?

The cell membrane is the outer layer of a cell. It is part of the PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL! don't get it confused with a cell wall, they are similar but they are different.
