What is difference between plant and animal cells? Why plant cells have chloroplasts? What is Photosynthesis? Learn with Kimavi in just one minute!

Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a nucleus, cytoplasm and organelles. However, plant cells have a few unique differences such as a cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuoles.

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that contain chlorophyll, which is an important pigment for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert energy from the sun into chemical energy stored as glucose in the form of sugar.

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts and involves the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

During photosynthesis, the energy from the sun is used to break down the water molecules and turn the carbon dioxide into glucose molecules.

The oxygen produced is released into the air and the glucose is used for energy by the plant.

Plants use photosynthesis to create their own food and survive, while animals must get their energy from other sources such as plants or other animals.
