No. It is present only in plants, since plants are the only living things that make their own food.

Can living things survive with out enzymes?

Living things rely on enzymes to carry out essential chemical reactions in their bodies. Without enzymes, these reactions would occur too slowly or not at all, leading to the inability to survive. Therefore, living things cannot survive without enzymes.


Do eukaryote cells have chloroplasts?

No. Animal cells do not contain chloroplasts. Photosynthesis occurs within chloroplasts. They are found in plants and other eukaryotic organisms that undergo photosynthesis (such as algae).


What is a characteristic of all living things and involves an increase in the amount of living material in an organism?

Growth is a characteristic of all living things that involves an increase in the amount of living material in an organism. This can occur through cell division, enlargement of cells, or accumulation of new cells.


What are the basis of all living things?

All the known living things are water-based. Also all the living things have the following features in common: 1. Living things are highly organized. 2. All living things have an ability to acquire materials and energy. 3. All living things have an ability to respond to their environment. 4. All living things have an ability to reproduce. 5. All living things have an ability to adapt.


Where do the reactions of photosynthesis happen?

They occur first within the cytochrome biochemical photosynthetic Enzymes that reside within the Thylacoid membrane systems that reside within the Grana and Stroma of the Chloroplasts that reside within photosynthetic Organisms.

What is the importance of chemistry for every living things?

Living things are composed of atoms, ions, ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and solutions in which water is the solvent. The sum total of all of the chemical reactions that occur in the cells of living things is what makes us alive.


Do all living things have chloroplasts?

No, in fact no animals create chloroplasts. Some animals can, however, engulf other photosynthetic organisms and through either a symbiotic relationship with the photosynthetic organism or by appropriation of photosynthetic mechanisms these animals can photosynthesize. An example of this would be the sea slug Elysia chlorotica which eats algae. It has a unique digestive tract that does not digest the algal chloroplasts for energy but instead engulfs them into the slugs tissues via phagocytosis. The chloroplasts can "survive" for several months before new chloroplasts are needed to replace the old ones. This is because the slug itself does not create the chloroplasts but steals them from the algae and incorporates them into its own tissues.


What do all living things do?

Considering that plants are also living things we all need oxygen, so all living things breath.

Does respiration and photosynthesis both occur in all living things?

No, not all living things perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Plants, algae, and some bacteria perform photosynthesis, while most organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria, perform respiration to generate energy.
