The chloroplast is an organelle found in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not perform photosynthesis, relying on other organelles like mitochondria for energy production. Chloroplasts are unique to plant cells and some protists.
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and some protists, where they perform photosynthesis to produce energy for the cell.
Leaves are structure that takes sun energy producer absorb water and mineral
Plant-like protists are similar to plants in that they can perform photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll. They can also produce their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. However, plant-like protists are unicellular or simple multicellular organisms, whereas plants are typically more complex multicellular organisms with roots, stems, and leaves.
