Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts. Plants don’t get their sugar from eating food, so they need to make sugar from sunlight. This process (photosynthesis) takes place in the chloroplast.
Q. What helps support a plant cell and keep its shape?
The cell wall of a plant supports it and help maintain the plant its shape, it’s like the plant’s backbone. It is very rigid and is made of cellulose.

Q. Why do plant cells have extra organelles?
Explanation: Cell Wall: this provides extra strength and support for the plant cell so it doesn’t burst when gaining water by endosmosis. Chloroplasts: this is where photosynthesis takes place. Large permenant vacuole: this stores several pigments, ions, enzymes and organic and inorganic substances.
Q. Where is the mitochondria found in a plant cell?
cytoplasm
Q. How many mitochondria are in plant cells?
splendens (and 20–40 mitochondria, Beech, P.L., personal communication). In contrast, a typical Arabidopsis mesophyll cell contains approximately 120 chloroplasts [44] and many hundreds of mitochondria.
Q. What is the definition of mitochondria in a plant cell?
The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is the power house of the cell; it is responsible for cellular respiration and production of (most) ATP in the cell. The organelles are labelled. …
Q. Are chloroplasts found in most plant cells?
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, but not in animal cells. The purpose of the chloroplast is to make sugars that feed the cell’s machinery. Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy from the Sun and creating sugars.
Q. Will plants produce food in the absence of chloroplast?
Explanation: Plant cells that does not have chloroplasts are plants that does’nt create their own food. Cells without chloroplasts can’t carry on photosynthesis. These cells don’t depend on light directly as thees obtain food from green cells of the plant.
Q. Why do plant root cells lack chloroplasts?
Why do the cells of plant roots generally lack chloroplasts? Because the roots are underground, so they cannot get light which is what chloroplasts need to carry out photosynthesis. Plants and Bacteria Heterotrophs are animals and other organisms that must get energy from food.
Q. Why do animal cells lack chloroplasts?
Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts. Once the sugar is made, it is then broken down by the mitochondria to make energy for the cell. Because animals get sugar from the food they eat, they do not need chloroplasts: just mitochondria.
Q. Why are root cells and leaf cells not identical?
Although all of the cells of a plant contain the same genetic material, root cells and leaf cells are not identical because they use different genetic basis for the synthesis of dna use different parts of their genetic instructions select different cells to express delete different sections of their enzymes.
