No, in fact no animals create chloroplasts. Some animals can, however, engulf other photosynthetic organisms and through either a symbiotic relationship with the photosynthetic organism or by appropriation of photosynthetic mechanisms these animals can photosynthesize. An example of this would be the sea slug Elysia chlorotica which eats algae. It has a unique digestive tract that does not digest the algal chloroplasts for energy but instead engulfs them into the slugs tissues via phagocytosis. The chloroplasts can "survive" for several months before new chloroplasts are needed to replace the old ones. This is because the slug itself does not create the chloroplasts but steals them from the algae and incorporates them into its own tissues.

Only plant cells have a cell?
No of course not. We have cells. All living things have cells.
What colors are reflected and absorbed by living things?
All sorts of colours, it depends on what living thing it is. Chloroplasts for example have a green pigment which reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light for use in photosynthesis.
What are the characteristics of life?
All living things growAll living things reproduceAll living things exhibit variationsAll living things respond to certain stimuliAll living things need and use energyAll living things have an intricacy of formAll living things maintain homeostasisThere are 6 characteristics of life. 1. All living things have cells. 2. All living things have essential chemicals. 3. All living things use energy. 4. All living things respond to stimuli. 5. All living things reproduce. 6. All living things grow and develop. Living things are made of cells.Living things obtain and use energy.Living things grow and develop.Living things reproduce.Living things respond to their environment.Living things adapt to their environment.
Is chloroplasts non living?
yes its a non living thing its present in the cell but all chemial reactions take place here
What are the four life functions of all living things?
All living things: grow and develop All living things: use energy All living things: reproduce All living things: get rid of waste All living things: adapt to changes in their environment
Does Chloroplasts occur in all living things?
No. It is present only in plants, since plants are the only living things that make their own food.
What types of living things have chloroplasts?
plants
Only plant cells have a cell?
No of course not. We have cells. All living things have cells.
Are chloroplasts found in living things?
Yes they are in living. They are in autotrophic eukariyotes
How do chloroplasts set plants apart from living things?
Chloroplasts set plants apart from other living things in that they are the only parts of a cell that do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants (mostly the chloroplasts) use sun and carbon dioxide to make food and create oxygen. Photosynthesis sets plants apart and chloroplasts do photosynthesis.
What colors are reflected and absorbed by living things?
All sorts of colours, it depends on what living thing it is. Chloroplasts for example have a green pigment which reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light for use in photosynthesis.
Do eukaryote cells have chloroplasts?
No. Animal cells do not contain chloroplasts. Photosynthesis occurs within chloroplasts. They are found in plants and other eukaryotic organisms that undergo photosynthesis (such as algae).
What are the 6 characteristics of living things are?
All living things are made of cells. All living things require and use energy. All living things grow, develop, reproduce and repair themselves. All living things produce waste All living things respond and adapt to their environment. All living things have a life span.
What do all living things do?
Considering that plants are also living things we all need oxygen, so all living things breath.
What are the basis of all living things?
All the known living things are water-based. Also all the living things have the following features in common: 1. Living things are highly organized. 2. All living things have an ability to acquire materials and energy. 3. All living things have an ability to respond to their environment. 4. All living things have an ability to reproduce. 5. All living things have an ability to adapt.
5 Characteristics of living things?
All living things are made of cells, all living things ether need or produce oxygen, all living things reproduce, all living things make and use energy, and all living things adapt to their enviorment.
