Plant cells can use energy from the sun to make food animal cells cannot what organelle is responsible for this difference between plant and animal cells
The organelle responsible for the ability of plant cells to convert sunlight into food is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, which is used in the process of photosynthesis to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose (food for the plant). Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and therefore cannot perform photosynthesis.
The organelle responsible for the difference in the ability of plant cells to use energy from the sun to make food is called the chloroplast.
