I need to answer an essay question for science and I wanted to make sure of something first. The essay question is- What characteristics do plants share? Can you tell me if all plant cells have chloroplasts? I do not think they do so that would not be included in a characteristic. Isn't that right??
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "plant characteristics" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/
Yes, you are correct. Not all plant cells have chloroplasts, so it would not be included as a characteristic shared by all plants.
To confirm this, you can refer to credible sources such as textbooks, scientific journals, or reputable websites that provide information on plant biology. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to find the answer using an online search:
1. Open a search engine of your choice (e.g., Google, Bing).
2. Type in a search query like "do all plant cells have chloroplasts?"
3. Review the search results to find reliable sources such as university websites, educational institutions, or scientific organizations.
4. Click on the relevant links to access the information.
5. Look for information specifically about plant cells and chloroplasts to determine whether all plant cells have chloroplasts or not.
By following these steps, you should be able to find credible sources that confirm your understanding that not all plant cells have chloroplasts.
