No, animals only carry out respiration. Only plants have photosynthesis. Although, there is a rare green sea slug, which is now being considered half plant and half animal because it carries out both respiration and photosynthesis.

What do animals benefit from photosunthesis?

Animals benefit from photosynthesis by providing food rich in nutrients for the animals that eat plants (herbivores). Animals that eat other animals (carnivores) are indirectly benefitted, because they will then eat the animals that ate the plants.


Why do animals owe their existence to the presence of chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll traps energy for photosynthesis and in photosynthesis oxygen is released that is used by animals for their respiration.


How photosynthesis is useful for animals?

Photosynthesis cannot effect a meat eating animal.Photosynthesis has to take place with 3 main things: sun, chlorophyll, and oxygen.Now notice how I said chlorophyll. Meat eating animals do not have chlorophyll. This means the formula of life (or in other words, photosynthesis,) cannot take place.No meat eating animals have anything to do with photosynthesis. Even if it was plant eating animals, they still have nothing to do with photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is for plants only. So photosynthesis cannot effect meat eating animals in ANYWAY.Hope that answered your question.
