Leaf cells have nuclei, but root cells do not.

Answer 1

The correct response is: Leaf cells have chloroplasts, but root cells do not.

Leaf cells contain chloroplasts, which are necessary for photosynthesis, allowing them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy. In contrast, root cells do not have chloroplasts because they are not involved in photosynthesis; instead, they primarily function in nutrient and water absorption from the soil.
