If humans had chloroplasts we would be able to theoretically photosynthesize and create our own energy source, thereby eliminating the need to eat. But I think if we did we wouldn't have evolved the way we did (we evolved to follow our food, to survive, basically). We'd probably be rooted to the ground somewhere, like a plant.

∙ 12y agoPlant cells contain chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll which aborbs the sun's light to make energy using a process known as photosynthesis. So if humans had chloroplasts, we would be able to make our own food which would be pretty cool! However, as plant cells have cell walls, they can only move parts of their body, so we wouldn't be able to move from place to place, but move things like our arms and legs.

Microscopic studies will show these effects.

What would happen if you did not have chloroplasts?
Well humans do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts only show up in plant cells as chloroplasts are for obtaining energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. No animal is able to do this as chloroplasts are not present in animal cells.
Would you expect to find chloroplasts in the cells of a root?
no,because root cells do not have chloroplasts.
What would be most likely to happen to a plant that had working chloroplasts in its cells but had taken in a poison that kept mitochondria from working?
it stops growing..
What would happen to a plant if its chloroplasts stopped working?
Chloroplasts are doing photosynthesis. They will die if chloroplasts are not working.
Which organelle would you find in plant cells but not in animal cells?
Chloropalsts. They are the ones who do the process of photosynthesis. An animal cell does not have them.

What would happen if you didn't have Animal Cells?
I would disappear. Almost all of my body is animal cells.

no
What would happen to a plant if its chloroplasts stopped working?
Chloroplasts are doing photosynthesis. They will die if chloroplasts are not working.
Would a plant cell die if it lost its chloroplasts?
No, there are several living cells in the plant without chloroplasts.
Where would you expected to find the cells with the most chloroplasts?
Leaves
Are there chloroplast cells in bacteria?
Chloroplasts are NOT cells - so your answer would be no. BUT if you mean do chloroplasts exist in bacteria then the answer is Sometimes. Where the answer is yes the bacteria is referred to as blue-green algae.
Which cells would not have chloroplasts?
There are many cells. Every prokariyotic cells,animal cells,fungi cells and many protista lack them
Which organelle would you find in plant cells but not in animal cells?
Chloropalsts. They are the ones who do the process of photosynthesis. An animal cell does not have them.
If you could add chloroplasts to animal cells how would it change their behavior?
They would be able to photosynthesise, which they are currently unable to do because they do not possess chloroplasts.
