GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, plant cells contain chloroplasts since they need to perform photosynthesis, but animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells must be rigid to maintain their posture, and they require chlorophyll, which is found in the chloroplast, for food production. Animals, on the other hand, do not require cell rigidity and do not have chloroplast because they are heterotrophs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells have a cell wall and plastids that animal cells lack.
