Which organelle in plant cells enables them to make food?

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (food) and oxygen.


What structure do plant cells have during cytokinesis that animal cells do not?

Plant cells have a cell plate that forms between the two daughter cells during cytokinesis, which eventually develops into a new cell wall. This structure is unique to plant cells and is not found in animal cells.


What is the shape of leaf cells that make food?

Palisade cells are the plant cells that make food. They are a vertically elongated shape and absorb a major portion of the light energy used to make food.


What process will a plant use to make food?

Plants use photosynthesis to make food. This process involves using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Chlorophyll in the plant's cells absorbs sunlight to initiate the chemical reactions involved in photosynthesis.


Why does the plant cell have more organelles than the animal cell?

This is probably because in addition to carrying out all of the same functions as the animal cell, the plant cell must also carry out photosynthesis to make its own food. Animal cells ingest food and use digestion to obtain energy from it, so the cells do not have to make it individually. Hence, plant cells have chloroplasts. Also, plant cells must in general have more structure than animal cells. Hence the permenant vacuole and the cellulose cell wall.
