Why are chloroplasts important to animals even though they are found only in plant cells?

the plants needs the chloroplasts to make suger (which will be stored as starch in the roots) as it is the food. So,without it the plant would not be able to survive making the herbivores (plant-eaters) to have insufficient amount of food causing its population to decrease. This will also cause the herbivore's predator to decrease as well.Thus,the chloroplast is important in the food web as we all know that when the food producers(plants) decreases, the other organism would also decrease. HOPE THIS HELPS!! :)

Do animals have a chloroplasts?
No. Animal cells lack chloroplasts.
Do chloroplasts contain a lot of muscle cells?
Muscles are in animals. Chloroplasts are never found in animals.
Are chloroplasts in plant or animal cells?
Plants have chloroplasts, which contain the pigment chlorophyll, which is why they are green. Chloroplasts are never in animals.
Do nerve cells contain chloroplasts?
Yes, there are mitochondria in nerve cells. Mitochondria provide energy to the parts of the cell that need it most. Nerve cells mostly only differ from other cells because their specialized structures, including the dendrites, axon, myelin sheath and presynaptic terminal.
What cells parts do plan cells have that animals cells do not have?
a cell wall and chloroplasts.
Why do animals cells lack chloroplasts?
Animals do not make their own food through photosynthesis, so they do not need chloroplasts.
Why do plant cells have chloroplasts and a rigid cell wall and animals cells dont?
The chloroplasts make the plant stem green.
Which organelle Is found in most plant cells but never in animal cells?
The answer is Chloroplasts Energy enters the food chain through the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts don't exist in animal cells; they are present only in plants and some protists.
How are chloroplasts in plant cells important to animal life?
The "waste" product of photosynthesis is oxygen, which animals use in respiration. Chloroplasts also convert sunlight into usuable chemical energy for consumers.
Why don't animals cell need chloroplasts?
Animal cells are not capable of photosynthesis hence these cells lack chloroplasts. We can also put it this way, that since animal cells lack chloroplasts, these are not capable of photosynthesis.
What are two structures that plant cells have that animals cells lack?
Chloroplasts and cell walls
Is chloroplastin animal or plant cell?
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, not animal cells. Plants are photosynthetic and animals are not. Thus it is the plants that contain chloroplasts.
