Is there a nucleus in the plant and animal cells?

No. The mitochondria is the one that produces energy.


Which cell is mitochondrion found in animal cell or plant cell?

Actually,it depends however we can say that animal cell has more mitochondria. As plant cells' motion consists of locomotion which means moving on their axis,they utilise less energy. However,animal cells' motion is an active one so they utilise more ATP.Thus,animal cells have more mitochondria than plant cells as they produce energy much more.


Which organelles are responsible for the synthesis of ATP give examples for both plant and animal cells?

The organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP are mitochondria. In plant cells, ATP is also produced in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. In animal cells, mitochondria are the primary organelles for ATP production through cellular respiration.


Are stomata and mitochondria two cells that are only found in plant?

Neither Stomata nor mitochondria are cells, stomata are found in plants as a leaf's pores and mitochondria are cell organelles that serve as the powerhouse of cells by providing energy. Anyway, yes stomata are only found in plants b/c they're a specific kind of pore, and mitochondria are one of many organelles found in plant and animal cells.


What are analogies for a mitochondrion?

The energy plant is one of the analogies of a mitochondrion. Mitochondria are found in both the animal and plant cells and are the site of the cellular respiration.


What would not be found in one of your liver cells a. mitochondria b.ER c.peroxisomes d. a central vacuole e. ribosomes?

One thing that would not be found in a liver cell is a central vacuole. Vacuoles are typically found in plant cells, not animal cells like liver cells. Liver cells would contain other organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, and ribosomes.


How do you put mitochondria in a sentence?

Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that are known as the powerhouses of the cell due to their role in producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.


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.


What are the things all plant cells have?

All plant cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, a nucleus, and organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria. These components work together to carry out essential functions for the plant cell's survival and growth.


Why do animal cells not have chloraplast?

Chloroplasts (as well as Mitochondria) are endosymbionts. This means that they are cells, living within another cell. Historically, eukaryotic cells had no mitochondria or chloroplasts (and mitochondria and chloroplasts existed by themselves outside of cells). The current hypothesis is that a cell tried to engulf a mitochondria (by phagocytosis) but failed in digesting it. Over time, some of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) became part of the host cell's genome. This cell is a common ancestor to both plants and animals, which is why both have mitochondria. A cell with mitochondria then did the same thing with chloroplasts, absorbing one, and taking some of its ctDNA etc. Because not all cells that had mitochondria absorbed chloroplasts there were cells with mitochondria only, and cells with mitochondria and chloroplasts. The ones with chloroplasts evolved to become plant cells, and those without evolved to become animal cells.


What organelles make energy for the cell?

Organelles that make energy for the cell are primarily the mitochondria, often called the "powerhouse of the cell." According to recent research, mitochondria convert nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides energy for various cellular activities. In plant cells, chloroplasts also produce energy through photosynthesis. Ongoing research in cell biology continues to uncover new insights into how these organelles function and interact to support cellular life.

What type of cell has more than one mitochondria?

Most eukaryotic cells have more than one mitochondria. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell and generate energy through ATP production, so cells with high energy demands like muscle cells or liver cells often have numerous mitochondria.
