One type ofLamellae is the thylakoid membrane. Since the thylakoid membrane is where photosynthesis takes place then the lamellae are vital to plants. So to answer your question, it is the site of photosynthesis the light dependent reaction to be more exact.

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.


Why is it necessary for plant cells to be different from animal cells?

certain characteristics have to be adapted by the plants cells that are different than the animal cell . The one thing is the presence of vacuoles in the plant cell provides it gradual growth of over all cell size and also the cell wall acts as a defense mechanism for the plant cell.


Which organelle is not found in plant cells?

Centrioles and lysosomes cannot be found in plant cells.


What are some differences between animal and plant cells for fourth grade?

Animal cells have centrioles, which plant cells lack. Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not. Animal cells usually have a round or irregular shape, whereas plant cells often have a rectangular shape.


Are both chloroplasts and mitochondria found in plant and animal cell?

No, chloroplasts are found in plant cells where they are responsible for photosynthesis, while mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells where they are responsible for generating energy through respiration.
