Does chloroplast contain stoma?

The chloroplast is a cellular organelle that performs photosynthesis while a stoma (plural: stomata) is a two-celled structure seen on leaf surfaces. Thus, chloroplasts cannote be said to "contain stomata". Stomata are pores that regulate water evaporation and gas exchange. The two guard cells that form the stomatal pore each contain chloroplasts. However, I feel you may be confusing the term "stoma" with "stroma". "Stroma" is a term used for the liquid matrix seen inside chloroplasts - i.e. chloroplasts contain stroma. Many important photosynthetic reactions occur in the stroma and thylakoids in the chloroplast are surrounded by it.


Name a type of plant cell that may not have chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts need sunlight for development. However, there are plants that do not have chloroplasts and therefore, do not need sunlight. Some of these plants include rhizomes, tubers, and root crops. Window leaf plants and parasitic plants also do not have chloroplasts.


What has a cell wall and chloroplasts?

Plant cells contain both chloroplasts and cell walls. Animal cells have cell membranes instead of cell walls and mitochondria instead of chloroplasts. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea, may have cell walls, but have no membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplasts.


Why animal cells do not contain chloroplasts?

Animal cells are not capable of photosynthesis hence these cells lack chloroplasts. We can also put it this way, that since animal cells lack chloroplasts, these are not capable of photosynthesis.


What organelle may survive and reproduce independently of a cell?

Mitochondria are organelles that were once free-living bacteria. They can survive and reproduce independently in certain conditions, suggesting they have retained some autonomy from the host cell.

How may cell membranes does a double membrane organelle have?

The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer while the organelle membranes are usually a single layer of lipids. The nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts are the exception and have a lipid bilayer. AS you see, it depends on which organelle. The nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts have a bilayer (2). The others have one.


What starts with a letter c and is found mostly in the middle of a leaf?

Chloroplasts are plentiful in a leaf cell. Chloroplasts contain Chlorophyll, a component of photosynthesis. This may be what you're looking for.

Can Chloroplasts can be found in both plant and animal cells?

Chloroplasts are generally only found in plant cells, although there may be some circumstances in which they could be found in animal cells, I doubt it.

How many chloroplasts are there in a plant cell?

There is no exact number as it varies from cell to cell.

What cells do plant cells have?

I would say chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll, which gives then the green color.The chloroplasts absorb the sunlight.I think that is the answer, but you may be looking for something else that they have.The plant cells have chloroplasts.


Do Euglena have chlorophyll?

Some types of eubacteria may contain chlorophyll. This type of bacteria is so diverse that they come in many different forms, as well as different shapes.
