There are a few differences between the jobs of plant and animal cells. Which of the following is unique, specialized PLANT cell function?
1 answer
The unique, specialized function of plant cells is photosynthesis. Plant cells contain chloroplasts, which are responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This process is crucial for producing food and oxygen for the plant and for many other organisms on earth. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and cannot carry out photosynthesis.
