Both plant and animal cells break down glucose (C6H12O6) in order to create adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which provides energy for the cell. Plant cells are able to manufacture glucose through photosynthesis, but animal cells must acquire the glucose by ingesting it from another source. Both types of cells undergo cellular respiration, which is the process by which the ATP is produced out of glucose.
In plant cells, the site of energy production is the chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs. In animal cells, the site of energy production is the mitochondria, where cellular respiration takes place.
Actually,it depends however we can say that animal cell has more mitochondria. As plant cells' motion consists of locomotion which means moving on their axis,they utilise less energy. However,animal cells' motion is an active one so they utilise more ATP.Thus,animal cells have more mitochondria than plant cells as they produce energy much more.
Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells. If they were in animal cells, people would be green.
They need energy to live.Mitochondria give this energy.
Mitochondrion are found in both plant and animal cells.
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells and not in animal cells. Their function is to help convert sunlight into energy for the plant.
Animal cells use more energy because unlike plant cells, animal cells can move at any speed and it also runs and walk to retrieve food. This puts more strain on the animal cells than on the plant cell :)
Both plant and animal cells break down sugar (glucose) in order to obtain energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration. This energy is used for various cellular functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and larger vacuoles compared to animal cells. Animal cells do not have cell walls, chloroplasts, or large vacuoles. Additionally, plant cells store energy as starch, while animal cells store energy as glycogen.
It takes half of the food you eat and burns it into energy for the plant or animal it can be found in animal cells or plant cells.
1. plant cells have chloroplasts and chlorophil 2.animal cells are circular and plant cells are rectangular. 3.animal cells lack a cell wall 4. animal cells have multiple vacuoles 5.Plant cells don't have a nuclues. Any questions?
obtain energy from nucleas
The MITOCHONDRIA provides energy for both the plant and animal cell.
turn solar energy into nutrients
They both have mitochondria
