Best Answer

Chloroplasts in plants, are part of the vital system of photosynthesis. This allows a plant to convert sunlight into nourishment for the plants, and by extension, nourishment for plant eating animals, who gain nutrients from the plants, and by the carnivores that feed on those plant eating animals. Additionally, being part of the process of photosynthesis, allows the plant to generate breathable oxygen, permitting an ecosystem to exist.

There is no chloroplast in the animal cell. The chloroplast is in the plant cell. It is in the plant cell because it contains chlorophyll which means the plant can do photosynthesis.
