Is chloroplast found in plants and animals?

No, only in plants, as they are one of the main components of photosynthesis.


Do photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?

Photosynthesis only occurs in plants, on the leaves, to produce nutrients for it. Animals all respire, which is effectively the opposite of respiration.


Do animals produce photosynthesis?

Animals don't use photosynthesis. Only plants do.Animals obtain energy and carbon from other organisms. Plants get from light and CO2


Is photosynthesis is only vital to humans?

Photosynthesis is important to plants, animals, and humans! So no. It's most vital to plants.


Can animals use photosynthesis to generate energy?

No, animals cannot use photosynthesis to generate energy. Photosynthesis is a process that only plants, algae, and some bacteria can perform to convert sunlight into energy. Animals obtain energy by consuming plants or other animals.


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.


Do animals have the ability to undergo photosynthesis?

No, animals do not have the ability to undergo photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that only plants, algae, and some bacteria can perform, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy. Animals obtain energy by consuming plants or other animals.


Does photosynthesis only happen in plants?

------------- The answer is no. It also occurs in algae and many bacteria.


Do animals photosynthesize?

No, in general only plants can perform photosynthesis although some bacteria can. No animals can.


Can animals get energy directly from the sun due to photosynthesis?

No, animals cannot perform photosynthesis to directly convert sunlight into energy. Only plants, algae, and some bacteria can carry out photosynthesis. Animals get their energy by consuming plants, other animals, or by breaking down molecules through cellular respiration.


Are chloroplast found in animals and plants?

Chloroplasts are NOT found in animals. Chloroplasts are found in most (but not all) plants and some protists.Chloroplasts, being the site of photosynthesis, are only found in plant cells as only plant cells require photosynthesis to survive.


Why is chlorophyll only found in plants?

Chlorophyll is found only in plants because it is a pigment essential for the process of photosynthesis, which is unique to plants. Photosynthesis is the process where plants convert light energy into chemical energy, using chlorophyll to capture sunlight. Animals do not carry out photosynthesis, so they do not require chlorophyll.
