Do animals have a chloroplasts?

No, animals do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms or plants, rather than through photosynthesis.


What cell parts do animals lack?

Do both plant and animal cells have chloroplasts?

No, both plant and animal cells do not have chloroplast. Plant cells have chloroplast that is why their leaves are green. Such as animals they do not. K.K


Do animals have chloroplasts in their cells?

No, animals do not have chloroplasts in their cells. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Animals do not have the ability to photosynthesize and therefore do not have chloroplasts in their cells.

Do chloroplasts contain a lot of muscle cells?

Muscles are in animals. Chloroplasts are never found in animals.


What cellular features differentiate plants from animals?

Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles for storage. Animals lack cell walls and chloroplasts, and have smaller or absent vacuoles. Additionally, plant cells can differentiate into various types of cells as needed, while animal cells are mostly specialized and do not differentiate as easily.


What do animal cells not have?

Compared to plant cells, they do not have cell walls nor chloroplasts.
