Plant cells contain chloroplasts while animal cells don't. Chloroplasts in plants are used to capture the Sun's energy as molecules. Most animals get energy from the food they consume so they simply do not need chloroplasts, as opposed to plants, who mainly get nutrients from the soil and energy from the Sun.

If the animal cell had chloroplast it would still have it same color?

No, the presence of chloroplasts in an animal cell would not affect its color because chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and do not perform photosynthesis.


What are some differcen between animal and plant cells?

Do plant and animal cells have the same parts?

Plant and animal cells have some parts in common, such as a cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm. However, plant cells have additional structures like a cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole. Additionally, animal cells have structures like centrioles that are not typically found in plant cells.

What is the chloroplast and why dont cells have chloroplast?

Only photosynthetic organisms (organisms that perform photosynthesis), such as plants, some bacteria, and some protistans, have chloroplasts. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not carry out photosynthesis.
