What cell structure makes food for plants using the sun?

Chloroplasts are the cell structures in plants that use sunlight to produce food through a process called photosynthesis. Within the chloroplasts, chlorophyll captures sunlight energy and converts it into chemical energy, which is used to make carbohydrates such as glucose.


Which organelle would you expect to find in a animal cells but not plant calls?

The organelle you expect to find in a animal cell but not in a plant cells is the centriole.


How can you tell if its a animal cell or plant cell?

If the cell has a cell wall and a vacuole and chloroplasts You can tell them apart by looking through the microscope and seeing if it has a cell wall. If it does then it is a plant cell. If it doesn't then it is an animal cell.


What is the difference between plant cell and animal cells?

an animal cell contains a nucleus as does the plant cell. the plant cell contains a cell wall but the animal cell contains a cell membrane. they bothe have the same purpose to protect the inner layer of the cells. a plant cell has a vacoule which is a storage area for cytoplasm and an animal cell does not. a plant cell also contains chloroplast which is a pigment to give the plant cells its green color.


List four differences between plant and animal cells?

1.animals are predators which means they eat meat to get energy and plants perform photosynthesis2.plants have cell walls and cell membrane but animals do not have both3.animals can move but plants can not4.animals breathe oxygen (O2) and plants breathe carbon dioxide (Co2)

What term is used to describe unspecialized plant and animal cell and selected microbes?

The structure of an unspecialized plant cell is more square in shape. It has a cell wall to protect it and chloroplast which gives it chlorophyll that makes it visible as green, a cell membrane, a nucleus, The structure of an unspecialized animal cell, however, has all the structure except a cell wall and chloroplast.
