Do Animals Cells Have Chloroplasts
Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
Do animals cells have chloroplasts. Would animals behave differently if animal cells contained chloroplasts. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.
Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. However plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same organelles since they each have different needs. Plant cells have a cell wall chloroplasts plasmodesmata and plastids used for storage and a large central vacuole whereas animal cells do not.
Also there are salamanders that have replicating algae within them since embryogenesis - even algae with chloroplasts within animal cells - though here the algae might be rather understood as symbionts or cell types and the animal cells dont have the chloroplasts by. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. For example plant cells contain chloroplasts since they need to perform photosynthesis but animal cells do not.
Chloroplasts are the organelles that are the site of photosynthesis. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Its easy to tell if an organism contains chloroplasts because it will be green in color.
Yes plant cells have chloroplasts but animal cells do not. Chlorophyll also helps make plants green. You can read about the Plant Tissues Classification Definition Types in the given link.
Since animals dont get their energy through photosynthesis they get it from the food they eat they dont need chloroplasts. Animals are heterotrophic consume or eat their food and are not autotrophic make or produce their own food like plants and some bacteria. See full answer below.
