CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Animal cells have chloroplasts, organelles that capture light energy from the sun and use it to make food.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is a two-step process. In chloroplasts, chlorophyll molecules absorb sunlight and pass the extra energy to molecular partners that use it to generate the energy-storing chemicals adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH).

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Lysosome’

Detailed explanation-5: -Commonalities of energy processing in both plants and animals have become even stronger by the finding that chloroplast can be found in animal cells.
