Organisms that have photosynthetic pigments most always photosynthesize. Plants, many types algea and protists are capable of photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria, prokaryotic organisms, are also capable of photosynthesis. All these organisms contain chlorophyl a, but they all have a different set of pigments. There are different classes of these pigments: chlorophyll, cartenoids, and phycobilins. For a more detailed description of these pigments, see the link below.

Is it true of false that both respiration and photosynthesis take place in some plant cells?

Yes, it is true. Some plant cells are capable of both respiration and photosynthesis. During the day, these cells perform photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy, and at night, they switch to respiration to produce energy from stored sugars.


Does photosynthesis occur in all living plant cells?

No, many of the plants cells do photosynthesize, but not all the cells are capable of this process. The roots are a good example of non-photosynthetic cells, and you can see this by their pale color which means they have a lack of pigment (the pigment is key in photosynthesis).


Does animal cells produce photosynthesis?

Not all types of plant cells perform photosynthesis. Most cells on the shoot of the plant (depending on the plant) are capable of photosynthesis. However, most root cells are white because they lack pigments and, therefore, are incapable of photosynthesis.


Why are animal cells are not capable of carrying out photosynthesis?

Chloroplasts are the organelles plant cells use for photosynthesis. Animal cells do not contain chloroplasts.Animal cells are not capable of carrying out photosynthesis because of the lack of energy from the sun. Our cells do not have chloroplast which is needed to contribute to photosynthesis. To contribute to photosynthesis you need chloroplast to pull energy from the sun. Animals have mitochondria in the cell which plants also have, but instead of it collecting the energy from the chloroplast the mitochondria collects energy from the food we consume. Fact is, we have a food chain which is needed for energy for animals. Without the chloroplast and chlorophyll, we have no means of photosynthesis.


Which process in plant cells uses chlorophyll?

Photosynthesis Water, Sunlight, and Carbon Dioxide go into the chloroplast, and glucose and oxygen come out.

Which type of cell is capable of harnessing energy from sunlight?

Chloroplasts, the cellular organelles found in plant cells and some other types of cells, are capable of harnessing energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis.


What cells does photosynthesis follow out?

it is plant cells. It is happening in plant cells.


What processes are plants capable of performing?

Plants are capable of performing photosynthesis, which is the process of converting carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into glucose and oxygen. They also undergo respiration, where they break down glucose to produce energy. Additionally, plants can transpire, allowing them to regulate their water content and absorb nutrients from the soil.


Does photosynthesis happen in all plant cells?

No, Photosynthesis happen only in those plant cells having chloroplasts.


How does photosynthesis provide energy for the plant cells?

it feeds the plant cells


Why don't animals cell need chloroplasts?

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.
