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.

Why do plants cells have choroplast and animal cell do not have them?

Plant cells have chloroplasts because they undergo photosynthesis, which is the process of converting sunlight into energy. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which is necessary for capturing sunlight. Animal cells do not undergo photosynthesis; therefore, they do not need chloroplasts.


Why does animal cell have mitochondira but no chloroplasts?

Animal cells need energy,so they have mitochondria.They are not photosynthetic,so they don't have chloroplast.


Why doesn't an animal cell need a cell wall?

because they dont need anything protecting them.

What organelles do plant cells have that animal cells don?

Plant cells have chloroplasts, cell walls, and large central vacuoles, which are not found in animal cells. Chloroplasts allow plants to photosynthesize, cell walls provide structure and support, and vacuoles store water and nutrients.


Why cells parts do plant cells have that animals cell do not have?

Plant cells have chloroplasts and cell wall, which the animal cell does not have. An animal cell does not need chloroplasts as the function of the chloroplast is to help the plant to trap sunlight for it to make food in order for photosynthesis to occur. Cell wall is also not present as an animal does not have a regular shape. The function of the cell wall is to help the plant have a regular shape.


Why dont animal cells need cell wall?

animal cell don't need cell wall because they have micro filaments and micro tubules to hold the shape of the cell.


Does an animal cell have chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts are the Organelles in Plant Cells which absorb light energy using chlorophyll, and use this energy to react Water and Carbon dioxide to form Glucose and Oxygen. Animals do not need to get energy by photosynthesis as they can take in food directly, so they do not need chloroplasts. So the answer is, no. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.


What two structures do plant cells have that animal cells do not have?

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts. Animal cells do not need the chloroplasts because they do not undergo photosynthesis, and I'm pretty sure the cells wall hinders cell splitting or something and that's why they don't have it.


What is the diffrence between a plant cell and animal cell?

A plant cell has chloroplasts which makes the plants food through the process of photosynthesis. Animals can find their own food so they don't need chloroplasts. Also a plant cell is square and an animal cell is either a circle or oval. Lastly, a plant cell has a cell wall and a cell membrane because the cell wall keeps in water, keeps out bacteria, and acts like a skeleton in a human body, to protect and support the plant cell.


Why do human cells don't contain chloroplasts?

Animals dont have chlorolplasts because one we are not plants and two we have evolved in a way that we never needed to perform photosynthisis our cells make enough ATP with the mitocondria already.
