Plants carry out photosynthesis - which occurs in the chloroplast. Animals cannot photosynthesize.
Plant cells have evolved a way to use light to provide energy for photosynthesis. The chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorphyll which allows them to utilize the energy from light. Animal cells evolved without the cellular machinery to perform photosynthesis, therefore they do not have chloroplasts and are heterotrophs, needing to feed on another organism in order to survive.
What else can I help you with?
Is chloroplasts found in plant or animal cells?
the cell that has a chloroplast is the plant cell
What organelles would you find in a plant and not a animal?
A plant cell has chloroplasts and a cell wall, which an animal cell doesn't have.
What are three ways a plant cell is different from an animal cell?
There are a range of differences. Some are listed below: Plant cells are enclosed by a cellulose cell wall whereas animal cells are not. Some plant cells have chloroplasts whereas animal cells never have chloroplasts. Plant cells have a large, permanent central vacuole whereas animal cells have small, temporary vacuoles. Plant cells are interconnected by plasmodesmata whereas animal cells are not. Animal cells have centrioles whereas plant cells do not.
What does only a plant cell have?
A plant cell has chloroplasts, while animal cells have lysosomes.
What components of the cell don't animal and plant have in common?
Plant cells have Chloroplasts and Cell Walls. Animal cells do not.
Is chloroplasts found in the plant or animal cell?
the chloroplast is found in both animal and plant cells.
What cell structure of the plant is lacking you the animal cell?
The plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplasts (photosynthetic organelle) which the animal cell does not.
What does a plant cell have that a anim al cell doesnt have?
A plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole, which are structures not found in animal cells. These unique features allow plant cells to perform functions like photosynthesis and maintaining turgor pressure.
What structures are found in a plant cells that are not found in animal cell?
chlorophyll
Which plant cell have that an animal cell does not have?
cell wall, chloroplasts.
Is chloroplasts found in plant or animal cells?
the cell that has a chloroplast is the plant cell
How you would decide if a cell was animal plant or prokaryotic?
If a cell does not have a nucleus, then it is a prokaryote. If a eukaryotic cell has chloroplasts, then it is a plant or algal cell. If a cell has a nucleus but no chloroplasts, then it could be an animal cell.
How would you decide if a cell was animal plant prokaryotic?
If a cell does not have a nucleus, then it is a prokaryote. If a eukaryotic cell has chloroplasts, then it is a plant or algal cell. If a cell has a nucleus but no chloroplasts, then it could be an animal cell.
Why does an animal cell have chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells, not in animal cells.
Is chlorophyll or chloroplasts in animal or plant cell?
Chloroplasts along with cell walls can only be found in plant cells.
What does a plant cell have that a animal cell does not have?
Plant cells has a cell wall, a vacuole, and, chloroplasts.
What does a animal cell not have that a plant cell does have?
Plant cells has a cell wall, a vacuole, and, chloroplasts.
