Chlorophyll is contained in the chloroplasts of the plant cell, and absorbs sunlight and coverts it to sugar. Plants need the sugar to grow and live.
This process is called photosynthesis, and it's only found in plant cells.

What part of the cell captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell?
The chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of PLANT cells does this.
What is found in a plant cell but not in a animal cell?
chloroplasts, chlorophyll
Where is the chlorophyll located inside of a cell?
In a plant cell, the chlorophyll is found in the mesophyll tissue, which contains the chloroplasts. Inside the chloroplasts are structures called thylakoids where the chlorophyll pigment is housed.
What is the pigment that gives a plant its green color?
Chlorophyll a is the most abundant pigment and it is the pigment that reflects green.
Which part of the cell contains a green pigment?
The part in plant cells that contains green pigment is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll are in the chloroplast and play an important function in photosynthesis.
Is chlorophyll a plant cell?
no, chlorophyll is in the thylakoids, which is a organelle inside of the cell. it is what gives the plant cell its green color
Is chlorophyll in a animal cell?
No: Only a plant cell contains chlorophyll.
Is there chlorophyll in an animal cell?
nope. there is only chlorophyll in a plant cell
What does an animal plant have that a plant cell does not?
Chlorophyll
What in the plant cell makes the plant green?
Glucose is not the answer. the answer is chlorophyll. chlorophyll is a pigment in the cell that uses the light from the sun to create glucose. chlorophyll is green.
A cell that possesses chlorophyll usually possesses?
A cell that possesses chlorophyll is actually a plant cell (although some plant cells don't have chlorophyll). It usually contains a cell wall.
What part of the plant cell give is it a green color?
The green part of a plant cell is chloroplast
Is chlorophyll found in an animal cell or plant cell or maybe both?
plant cell
What is there in a plant cell that is not there in an animal cell?
The cell wall & chlorophyll.
What does a plant cell have that an animal does not?
Chlorophyll
Would you find a chlorophyll in a plant cell or animal cell?
Plant cells only, animal cells do not contain chloroplasts or chlorophyll.
In what type of cell plant or animal is chlorophyll found?
Chlorophyll is found only in plant cells.
