Light receptor cells, such as photoreceptors in animals (like rods and cones in the retina), have distinct structures that differ from plant cells. While both types of cells share some basic components, such as a cell membrane and cytoplasm, photoreceptor cells are specialized for detecting light and do not have cell walls or chloroplasts, which are characteristic of plant cells. Instead, they contain specialized proteins and organelles adapted for converting light into electrical signals. Thus, although they share some cellular characteristics, their structures and functions are quite different.

What structures in plant cells capture light energy to produce food?

Chloroplasts are the structures in plant cells that capture light energy through photosynthesis to produce food in the form of glucose. These organelles contain chlorophyll pigments that absorb light and convert it into chemical energy used for plant growth and development.
