If animal cells contained chlorophyll, animals would be able to turn sunlight into their own food in just the way that plants do. They would not longer have to eat, and the for chain would cease to be.

Is it true that animal cells derive their energy from chlorophyll?

Animal cells do not obtain their energy directly from chlorophyll. However, chlorophyll is vital for the survival of animals. Chlorophyll is the pigment contained in chloroplasts, which are the organelles in plants responsible for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis involves converting energy into a form that animals can use (glucose). This glucose is then broken down in the animal cell for energy. Therefore chlorophyll is indirectly responsible for producing the energy for animal cells.


The pigment chlorophyll is contained in?

Chlorophyll is contained in the chloroplasts of plant cells. It is a green pigment that is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.


Do animal cells contain chlorophyll?

I don't think they even have chlorophylls. Chlorophylls r founded in chloroplasts, but animal cells don't even have chloroplasts. Chlorophylls r used by producters during photothesis, but animals r consumers, not producters. They don't have to do photothynthesis.


Do animal cells ever have chlorophyll pigments inside?

No, animal cells lack chlorophyll pigments. Chlorophyll is primarily found in plant cells and is responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Animal cells obtain energy through other means, such as consuming plants or other animals.


What type of plant cell lack chlorophyll?

Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Most prokaryotic cells also do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are always present in plant cells.
