Plant cell can use energy from the sun to make food animal cells cannot. Which organelle is responsible for this difference between plant cells and animal cells
The organelle responsible for the difference mentioned between plant cells and animal cells is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are exclusive to plant cells and are responsible for the process of photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis, plants can convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (food) and release oxygen as a byproduct. Animal cells lack chloroplasts and are unable to perform photosynthesis, relying instead on consuming plants or other animals for energy.
