Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, allowing plants to make their own food.

Front

Why do animals not have chloroplasts?

Back

Animals do not have chloroplasts because they do not perform photosynthesis; instead, they obtain energy by consuming other organisms.

Front

What is a tissue?

Front

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll in chloroplasts.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuoles, while animal cells do not have these structures.

Front

What is an organ system?

Back

An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform complex functions in an organism.
