What does the chloroplasts do for the cambium?

I'm not sure but chloroplasts (i think) control the cell activities so probably control the cambium!:)

Chloroplasts are never found in animal cells?

Correct. Chloroplasts are organelles found only in plant cells and some protists. They are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy for the plant. Animal cells lack chloroplasts and obtain energy through other means like consuming food.

What is converted in both the mitochondria and the chloroplasts?

Energy is converted in them.In mitochondria chemical energy is kept as chemical enery but carrier changed.In chloroplast light energy stored as chemical energy.

What plant structure will have the most chloroplast?

The leaf would have the most chloroplasts because it is the major structure for photosynthesis in a plant.

Do chloroplast take in CO2?

Yes they take up CO2. Then it is reduced to glucose

On a label NPK fertilizer is written What does this expression mean?

N stands for Nitrogen.P and K stands for phospharus and pottasium respectively.They are elements in fertilizer.

What are two things from the environment that chloroplasts must have to make food?

Chloroplasts require sunlight and carbon dioxide from the environment to carry out photosynthesis, a process that produces food for the plant in the form of glucose.

What does chlorophyll have to do with fungi?

Chlorophyll has nothing to do with fungi. Fungi is a type of simple plant that does not have any chlorophyll, which is a green pigment that is used in photosynthesis.

Where are chloroplasts located?

Chloroplasts are located within plant and algal cells, specifically in the cytoplasm. They are found in the mesophyll cells of a plant's leaves and can also be present in other green parts of the plant, such as stems.

Chloroplast stores carbohydrates where?

They are not storing. but they make glucose as a carbohydrate.

Do fungal cell have chloroplasts?

Fungal cells do not have chloroplasts. However, they are similar to plant cells in other ways. They have cell walls, but they are made of chitin, not cellulose.

What contains the information for the traits and characteristics of an organism Is it chloroplast?

No it is not chloroplasts (they are involved in plant photosynthesis). The cell nucleus contains the information for the traits and characteristics of an organism in the form of DNA encoding genes.

Why are chloroplast not present in animal cells?

Plants manufacture their own food by photosynthesizing light with their chloroplasts and chlorophyll. Since animals acquire nutrition in a different way, by eating their food, they have no need for chloroplasts and chlorophyll.

Are chloroplasts like bacteria?

They are somewhat alike.Both have circular DNA.They got 70s ribosomes.

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.

Why liver cell contain chloroplast?

Liver cells do NOT contain chloroplasts - only plant cells and certain protists contain chloroplasts which are used during photosynthesis. Animals do not utilize photosynthesis at all.

Where does dcmu affect electron transfer system in thylakoid?

DCMU inhibits the electron transfer system in thylakoid membranes by targeting photosystem II (PSII). Specifically, it binds to the QB site of the D1 protein in PSII, preventing the transfer of electrons to plastoquinone. This leads to photoinhibition and blocks the flow of electrons from water to plastoquinone in the light reactions of photosynthesis.

Do chloroplast have matrix?

Yes,it has a matrix.It is called the stroma.
