Question

which best describes why plant cells have chloroplasts and animal cells do not?
a plant cells need chloroplasts to make dna because most plant cells do not contain a nucleus.
b plant cells need chloroplasts to make food because most plants cannot move to get food on their own.
c plant cells need chloroplasts to make protein because most plants cannot move to get protein on their own.
d plants cells need chloroplasts to move materials in and out of the cell because most plant cells do not contain a cell membrane

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis in plant cells, which allows plants to make their own food (glucose) from sunlight, carbon - dioxide and water. Since plants are generally immobile, they need a way to produce food on - site. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts as animals obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms.

Answer:

B. Plant cells need chloroplasts to make food because most plants cannot move to get food on their own.
