As plants don't move or we can say they are motile so they require less energy Plants have chloroplasts (which animal cells do not) to produce energy by converting sunlight but animal cells need more mitochondria to produce energy during respiration that's why mitochondria are power house of the cell.

I hope this helps u..
Thank you.

Answer 2

Plants generally don't move or we can also say that they are motile, so they require less energy.

Explanation:

Chloroplasts in plants have produce energy by converting sunlight. But animal cells need more mitochondria to produce energy during respiration. That is why mitochondria are known as the power house of the cell.

Plants do not implement movement related for the search of food. But animals do implement and that is why humans and other heterotrophic organisms have mitochondria.

Therefore, it is called the power house of the cell.
