Best Answer

As an animal, you need eukaryotic cells rather than plant cells to perform many of the functions that differentiate animals from plants. One example is that eukaryotic cells have mitochondria rather than chloroplasts. This allows eukaryotes (you) to synthesize metabolic products from a variety of heterotrophically-obtained molecules instead of using autotrophic processes.

Why does a plant cell have a cell wall and chlorophyll and an animal cell doesn't?

Its because the plant needs to be stable because it would be really floppy, and the animal cell does not because it can move around the animal and it does not need to be stablised. Animal cells do not have chlorophyll because they don't need it. Plant cells need them because they take in sunlight and turn it into a sugar that is used for food for energy. Animal cells do not get their energy from the sun directly, they get it from oxygen. Animal cells do not photosythesise, which is what chlorophyll is for.
