Why is there chloroplasts in leaf cells but not root cells?

Biology

Scilla [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Chloroplasts are only found in the parts of the plant that are capable of photosynthesis. The majority of chloroplasts are found in the leaves of the plant because these structures have the greatest surface area for absorption. The outer part of a plant stem may also contain chloroplasts.

Answer:

Chloroplasts are in the leaf cells because the leaf makes photosynthesis, which takes place in chloroplasts. The roots keep the plant firm in the ground.

Hope this helps!

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

large central vacuole

cell wall

Explanation:

Let me clear some things up for you. There are two types of cells - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The principle difference between these types of cells are the structure of their genome. In case of prokaryotes, the genomic matter do not have a defined structure, it just kind of floats around in the protoplasm. But in the eukaryotes, the genome is more structured, have all kinds of proteins associated with them, and is surrounded by a two layered sack called the nuclear membrane. Both plant and animal cells have these feature of structured nucleus, therefore, they are both eukaryotes.

Now for the difference between plant and animal cells. the features you mentioned are unique about plant cells, but do not rule them out from being eukaryotes, as the 'true' structure of the nucleus is still there. Cell walls are necessary for the plant cells because plants do not posses an endoskeleton like most of the animals do. The cell wall makes the whole plant rigid so they don't fall apart or appear like a blob. Chloroplast is where photosynthesis happens, so it should most definitely be in a plant cell. Animals don't do photosynthesis so they don't have chloroplasts. Vacuoles are also present in animal cells, but they are much smaller, greater in number, and are known as lysosomes. Functionally they are virtually the same.

Answer:

Organisms decompose more quickly when they are in contact with oxygen. ... When an organism is buried quickly, there is less decay and the better the chance for it to be preserved. The hard parts of organisms, such as bones, shells, and teeth have a better chance of becoming fossils than do softer parts.

Connect photosynthesis and respiration be sure to include in your discussion the function of mitochondria and chloroplasts
Vadim26 [7]

Photosynthesis makes a sugar for the plant, in order for photosynthesis to occur the plant needs carbon dioxide and water, and with the use of the sunlight it produces oxygen and glucose. For respiration you need glucose and oxygen which produces carbon dioxide, water and ATP(energy) for the cell. I hope this helps, I only know the first half of the question.
