Animals dont have chlorolplasts because one we are not plants and two we have evolved in a way that we never needed to perform photosynthisis our cells make enough ATP with the mitocondria already.

What 2 plant cells don't have chloroplasts?

onion cells dont contain chloroplasts as they are underground so cant photosynthesise


What is difference between onions peel and human cheek cell?

Onion peel cells are plant cells that have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose and may contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Human cheek cells are animal cells that lack a cell wall, have a flexible cell membrane, and contain a nucleus. Additionally, human cheek cells are eukaryotic, while onion peel cells are prokaryotic.


Which structures in the leaf are responsible for photosynthesis?

Chloroplasts, containing chlorophyll, are the main structures responsible for photosynthesis in plant leaves. They are found in the cells of the mesophyll layer, particularly in the palisade and spongy mesophyll cells. These chloroplasts capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.


If the animal cell had chloroplast it would still have it same color?

No, the presence of chloroplasts in an animal cell would not affect its color because chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and do not perform photosynthesis.


Why onion cells do not contain chloroplast?

Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont need chloroplasts, so they dont have them.

Do phloem cells contain chloroplasts?

No, phloem cells do not contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are typically found in plant cells that are involved in photosynthesis, such as leaf cells, while phloem cells are specialized for transporting nutrients, such as sugars, throughout the plant.

What organelles do plants have that animals do not?

Lysosome ,Centriole, and VesicleActually, animal cells do not have any different organelles than plant cells, other than plant cells having a membrane. animal cells do not have a membrane, they have a cell wall.


A plant cell has two parts that animal cells do not have they are the?

These parts are the cell wall (animal cells just have a cell membrane) and the vacuole. Plants also have chloroplasts which animal cells do not have.


Why do plant cells have chloroplasts and a rigid cell wall and animals cells dont?

The chloroplasts make the plant stem green.

Why do you see chloroplasts in the Elodea cell but not the onion cell?

Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont needchloroplasts, so they dont have them.
