Asked by elyshaatj

Answer (1)

Answer:Chloroplast.Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy into chemical energy. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.Both plant and animal cells have cell membranes and mitochondria. The cell membrane is the outer layer of the cell that regulates what enters and leaves, and mitochondria are the energy-producing structures within the cell. These components are common to both plant and animal cells, so they wouldn't help differentiate between the two. Chloroplasts, however, are unique to plant cells.
