plants need to photosynthesis as this is how they make their food. animals do not as they get their food from other sources such as plants and other animals.

∙ 11y agoChloroplast is the site of photosynthesis.Animals are not photosynthetic.So they do not need chloroplast.

Why animals cannot perform photosynthesis?
Animals cannot perform photosyntheis because they are heterotrophs(which depends on autotrophs for food). Autotrophs contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which traps light energy and produce food e.g Plants
Does animal cells produce photosynthesis?
Not all types of plant cells perform photosynthesis. Most cells on the shoot of the plant (depending on the plant) are capable of photosynthesis. However, most root cells are white because they lack pigments and, therefore, are incapable of photosynthesis.
Do not perform photosynthesis?
any living thing that is not a plant
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.
Can animals do photosynthesis?
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.
Can a plant cell do things that an animal can cannot?
A plant cell commonly has chloroplast, which can perform photosynthesis, ie turn CO2 + light + water into carbohydrates.
What is the photosynthesizing organism of a plant?
The plant's leaves perform photosynthesis
What is the adaptation that allows plants to perform photosynthesis?
Plant cells contain chloroplasts which allow them to perform photosynthesis.
Can a plant cell do things that an animal cell cannot?
A plant cell commonly has chloroplast, which can perform photosynthesis, ie turn CO2 + light + water into carbohydrates.
Does a fruit perform photosynthesis?
actually photosynthesis is the process that is performed by plant leaves which contains chloraplasts as fruits does not contain chloroplast it does not perform photosynthesis

What process do plant perform that makes them producers?
Photosynthesis

Is oxygen neccessary for photosynthesis?
No, a plant actually needs carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis. Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis.
How does a plant perform photosynthesis?
It turns carbon dioxide to oxygen
