not in all cells. It is happening in plant cells.

∙ 15y agoPhotosynthesis occurs in plants. Only plants have chloroplasts. There are some corals (animals) that look green and appear to carry out photosynthesis. In fact there are microscopic algae (zooxanthellae) inside the corals (endosymbiosis). The algae have the chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis.

∙ 15y agoNo; the human body does not have the necessary structures (such as chloroplasts) like plants do to trap the suns energy. The chemical reaction of photosynthesis requires a large amount of energy, which we do not have.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, it does not. Human cells do not have any functional means of undergoing photosynthesis. More specifically, human cells do not contain plastids, which contain various pigments which absorb and use sunlight to produce glucose.

∙ 15y agoit may occur in microscopic organisms on or in humans, but humans ourselves do not perform photosynthesis. We are heterotrophic organisms.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoAbsolutely not.
Humans do not have photoreceptor pigments or the photosynthetic machinery necessary to be autotrophs.

What is necessary for photosythesis to occur?
Water, sunlight, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll are necessary for photosynthesis to occur.
Where does photosynthesis occur in lichens?
Lichens are composed of Algea and Fungai. Algea perform Photosythesis for Lichens and Fungai give them protection.
What process that plant cells use to change sunlight into chemical energy?
Photosynthesis
Where does the replication of mutated genes occur in human cells?
Absolutely, mutation can occur in any cell, human or non-human. Mutation has a number of causes, but radiation is probably the most significant. If the DNA is struck by radiation (even solar radiation, which is to say, sunlight) it will be altered, hence there is a mutation.
What do human cells have that animal cells dont?
Aside from different DNA, there isn't really much of a difference between animal cells and human cells. Human cells are an example of an animal cell.
What organelle does photosythesis occur in?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.
What is necessary for photosythesis to occur?
Water, sunlight, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll are necessary for photosynthesis to occur.
Is human photosythesis possible?
It would be an interesting revolution in nature. But No.
Are stem cells artificial cells?
No. Stem cells occur naturally in the human body. However we are trying to clone stem cells to aid in there research.
Does meiosis occur in every cell of human body?
No, just in sex cells. ie, eggs and sperm cells
Where does photosynthesis occur in lichens?
Lichens are composed of Algea and Fungai. Algea perform Photosythesis for Lichens and Fungai give them protection.
Where do cell division happens in human?
Wherever ever there are cells, cell divisions will occur.
Where in the human body does osmosis occur?
In nearly all of the 30 trillion cells of the body
What process that plant cells use to change sunlight into chemical energy?
Photosynthesis
Which process takes place in the cells of Spirulina that does not occur in the cells of a human?
Spirulina is a cyanobacterium that obtains its energy through photosynthesis.Human cells can not photosynthesise
Where is the human body does meiosis occur?
in cells. cells undergo meiosis to make sex cells. one cell splits into two cells, ad then the two cells split into two more cells.
Where does meiosis occur in humans?
In human males, meiosis occurs in the sperm sex cells. This usually occurs in the testes of the human male.
