What in plants make food but animals cant?

This is because chlorophyll in the plants allow them to absorb the suns energy and turn it into sugar through a process called photosynthesis. Animals do not contain chlorophyll within their bodies therefore they are not able to produce these sugars.


What can a plant cell do that no animal cell can?

Plant cells can use photosynthesis, in which it uses its chloroplasts (animal cells do not have chloroplasts) to change the energy from the sun into energy it can use. This is why plants do not have to eat: they get everything they need from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Plant cells also have cell walls, chlorophyll, and a very large water vacuole that makes the cell very sturdy by containing water. ---- In other words, a plant can make its own food.


What structures could be found in a plant cell that you cant find in an animal cell?

The cell wall and the chloroplast


Can plant survive without chlorophyll?

no plant cant survive without chlorophyll......as chlorophyll act as a medium for the process of photosynthesis in which they use sun light for the production of food(mainly glucose)..as a source of food...during night plant use glucose which they syntheise during day time but some aquatic plant which were present in sea where sunlight cant reach,such plant dont requried chlorophyll ....they use some other source for there energy chlorophyll is the green pigment...


Can a yellow leaf produce food?

No, because to produce food a plant has to take in light and convert it to glucose (sugar) to be used as energy. The reason the plant is albino is because the plant isn't able to absorb any light. Likewise most plants are green because they cant absorb green light, in this situation the plant cant absorb any light leaving it colorless.


Why cant humans make food from water and sunlight?

because they lack chlorophyll


Why cant fungi make their own food using photosynthesis?

Has now chlorophyll


What is every plant and animal cell surrounded by?

Every plant and animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane. Plant cells have both a cell membrane and a cell wall because they can create there own food through photosynthesis. Animal cells have to absorb food, so they cant have a cell wall.


Why do plant cells contain both cholorplasts and mitochondria?

because plant cells are weaker than animal cells. they cant eat with a fork so need to eat using mitochondria


How does each plants vegetatitive organ contribute to its survival?

well, im not sure a plant has organs, but i learnt about this in science!! Chlorophyll (the green pigment) creates photosynthesis and that creates energy and glucose they cant live without that!!


What boundary do plant cells have?

its either a cell wall or a cell membrane..i cant remember which one... but i know that it has whatever the animal cell doesn't have
