AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal Cells versus Plant Cells Animal cells each have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells have a cell wall. On the other hand, Animal cells lack a cell wall. However, Plants rely on their cell walls for stability. Plants use chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis, which allows them to produce food, and thus they have it, however, Animal cells lack chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-4: -1. A plant cell is surrounded by a rigid cell wall. 1. An animal cell does not have a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-5: -For photosynthesis to take place the organism must have chlorophyll. Since animal cells do not have chlorophyll photosynthesis does not take place in them.
