Is chloroplast found in both animal cells and plant cells?

Nope. It is only in plant cells. The mitochondria is basically the same thing as a chloroplast, only it is found in animal cells. Plant Cell - Chloroplast Animal Cell - Mitochondria


What are 2-3 differences between the electron transport chain in the mitochondria compared to the chloroplast?

Chloroplast converts light energy into chemical energy, whereas mitochondria converts chemical energy into a different chemical energy. Chloroplast is present in plants and mitochondria is present in all cells


What organelle does photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in?

Respiration occurs in two compartments - glycolysis in the cytoplasm and the TCA cycle and electron transport chain in the mitochondria. However, cells that are actively photosynthesising do not need to respire because ATP is synthesised in the chloroplast.


Does plantae have chloroplast or mitochondria?

ALL plant cells have chloroplast - Not ALL plant cells have chloroplasts. I'm actually studying this in my college Biology class right now. "Chloroplast is an organelle that specializes in photosyntheses.." Therefore cholorplast is found in plant cells that receive light. You won't however find chloroplast in plant cells underground (roots, bulbs, ect.) because light generally doesn't reach those cells. If somehow they become exposed to light though they may develop choloroplast. I hope that helps.


How do chloroplast and mitochondria function in the capture and release of energy within the cell?

The chloroplast is in plant cells and takes light and oxygen to create energy for the plant. The mitochondria is in animal cells and takes carbon dioxide and water to create sugar for the cell.

Shape of mitochondria and chloroplast?

The mitochondria and chloroplast are both complex cell organelles that are found in eukaryote cells. These are both oval in shape.


Why do plant cell have chloroplast and animals do not?

Plants cells have chloroplasts because they need it for a process called photosynthesis. But both plant and animal cells have mitochondria. Animal cells can use the mitochondria to get energy that why they need chloroplast.


What three organic polymers are found in cells?

nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplast


What are the mitochondria and chloroplasts?

In plant cells, the chloroplast is an organelle that performs photosynthesis, and he mitochondria is an organelle that produces ATP (energy).


Why do animal cells have chloroplast and mitochondria?

They need energy to live.Mitochondria give this energy.

Organelle that generates atp?

In plant cells, the chloroplast generates the atp. In animal cells, the mitochondria generates the atp.
