Skin cells cannot photosynthesize because they lack chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for this process in plant cells. Photosynthesis requires specific pigments, like chlorophyll, which are absent in human skin cells. Additionally, skin cells have evolved primarily for protection and sensation rather than energy production, relying instead on metabolic processes to obtain energy.
What else can I help you with?
Do any other cells have chloroplast other than plant cells?
plant cells and plant-like protists contain chloroplasts.
Does the onion plant photosynthesize?
Onions themselves are root bulbs, and so cannot photosynthesize. Keeping that in mind, onion leaves and the sprouting plant from the onion bulb CAN photosynthesize like all other leaved plants. Hope this helps! Daniel A
What is the kindgom of euglena?
Euglena is a genus of single-celled organisms that are part of the protist kingdom. They are commonly found in freshwater environments and have characteristics of both plant and animal cells. Euglena are known for their ability to photosynthesize like plants in the presence of light, and they can also feed on organic matter like animals.
How would you know if a cell was a plant cell and not a root cell?
Root cells are plant cells, but they do not contain chloroplasts like leaf cells.
How do the structures of a plant cell allow it to function as part of a food chain?
Plant cells contain structures like chloroplasts that allow them to photosynthesize and produce energy-rich molecules like glucose. These molecules are then passed on to other organisms in the food chain as they are consumed by herbivores. Additionally, plant cell walls provide structural support to the plant, allowing it to grow and reproduce, ultimately contributing to the flow of energy through the food chain.
What cant animals do like plants?
photosynthesize?
Why chlorophyll found in plant-like protist?
because plant like protists photosynthesize and wouldn't be able to photosynthesize without chlorophyll
Do any other cells have chloroplast other than plant cells?
plant cells and plant-like protists contain chloroplasts.
What pigment do most plant-like protists contain that allows them to photosynthesize?
Chlorphyll!
Do Oscillatoria photosynthesize?
Oscillatoria does photosynthesize. It is bluish green or a brownish green and synthesizes like a plant, even though it moves with cilia like an animal.
How is the plant cell different from the animal?
Plants cells have certain structures that animal cells do not: cell walls made of cellulose, large central vacuoles (a space holding water and dissolved substances), and chloroplasts (that photosynthesize). Plants also do not have centrioles like animal cells; this is because the plant can use its cell wall to help it divide. Most plant cells are non-mobile.
How do you get plant cells out of a plant?
you have to zoom in really close to the cell...plant! but you cant just get a magnifying glass, u have 2 get like a microscope and look at a sertain spot!
Why do plant cells have bigger plant cells than vacuoles?
They're cool like that.
What are the names of some plant cells?
helloThe famous names of some plant cells aremeristamparenchymaxylemphelomsclerenchymaplus plant cells are real wankers like you xx
Why is phytoplankton is classified as a plant instead of an animal?
Phytoplankton are considered plant-like rather than plants. They are classified as plants because photosynthesize, which transforms light the sun into energy.
Do animal cells have vacuoles like plant cells?
No they don't have.
How are plant cells like fungi cells?
they both have a nucleus
