Plant cells can use energy from the sun to make food. Animal cell cannot. Which organelle is responsible for this difference between plant and animal cell

Answer 1

The organelle responsible for the difference between plant and animal cells regarding their ability to use energy from the sun to make food is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are only present in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis, a process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy (food) in the form of glucose. Animal cells lack chloroplasts and therefore cannot perform photosynthesis.
