lant cells can use energy from the sun to make food. Animal cells cannot. Which organelle is responsible for this difference between plant and animal cells?
Chloroplasts are responsible for this difference between plant and animal cells. Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place, enabling plants to convert sunlight into energy in the form of glucose. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and therefore cannot carry out photosynthesis.
