Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts that form the epicentre of the photosynthetic process. These organelles contain a pigment called chlorophyll that aid in this process. Plants use this process to convert energy absorbed from light to chemical energy which can be used for growth and a variety of other cellular processes. Animals on the other hand, do not have cells containing chloroplasts. They have organelles called mitochondria that produce energy.

Does photosynthesis happen in all plant cells?

No, Photosynthesis happen only in those plant cells having chloroplasts.


Why can photosynthesis only occur in plant cells when chlorophyll is present?

Photosynthesis can only occur in plant cells that contain chlorophyll because chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun. This light energy is essential for converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen during the photosynthetic process. Without chlorophyll, the plant cells would be unable to capture the necessary light energy to drive this chemical reaction, thus making photosynthesis impossible.


What provies energy but only for plant cells?

Photosynthesis.


Does photosynthesis occur in all living plant cells?

No, many of the plants cells do photosynthesize, but not all the cells are capable of this process. The roots are a good example of non-photosynthetic cells, and you can see this by their pale color which means they have a lack of pigment (the pigment is key in photosynthesis).


What organelle does photosythesis occur in?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. These organelles contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy in the form of glucose.


Do chloroplasts conduct photosynthesis?

Yes, in plant cells only.


Are chloroplasts found in animal cells or in plant cells?

Chloroplasts are found ONLY in plant cells - they are used for photosynthesis.


Where in a cell does photosynthesis occur?

Photosynthesis occurs only in plant cells. This is because only plant cells (unlike animal cells) contain chloroplasts. These chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis in the plant cell, and contain the necessary pigment of chlorophyll which is required for photosynthesis to take place. The photosynthesis equation is as follows: CO2 + H2O (in the presence of light and Chlorophyll) = energy + O2


What organelle is found only in plant cells that make food?

Chloroplasts are the organelles found only in plant cells that perform photosynthesis to produce food for the plant.


Is a Chloroplast in a animal cell?

No, Chloroplasts are areas in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
