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.

∙ 9y agoChlorophyll is a pigment found in chloroplast of plant cells and not present in animal cells. Chloroplast is the place where the photosynthesis takes place. Yes in plants it may indirectly helps to derive sugars from water,carbon dioxide but not synthesize energy or ATP.

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.
Why does a plant cell have a cell wall and chlorophyll and an animal cell doesn't?
Its because the plant needs to be stable because it would be really floppy, and the animal cell does not because it can move around the animal and it does not need to be stablised. Animal cells do not have chlorophyll because they don't need it. Plant cells need them because they take in sunlight and turn it into a sugar that is used for food for energy. Animal cells do not get their energy from the sun directly, they get it from oxygen. Animal cells do not photosythesise, which is what chlorophyll is for.
Animal cell do not have?
I'm going to assume that you are actually trying to ask "What do animal cells do not have that plant cells do?" The answer is cell walls and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is what is in plant cells have that converts sun light into energy. Cell walls, on the other hand give the plant cells their structure and allow them to grow with out a skeleton, unlike animals.
What plant cell have that animal cell don't have?
Animal cells have centrioles and plant cells do not.
What part of the cell captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell?
The chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of PLANT cells does this.
Do Plant cells derive their energy from chlorophyll.?
Plants do not dear be their energy from chlorophyll. However, they use chlorophyll to produce carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, in turn, are used to provide energy for the plant.

What organelle in plant and animal cells use chlorophyll?
In Plant Cells, the Chloroplasts are the organelles the utilize or use chlorophyll. In Animal Cells, Chlorophyll is not used.
Why is chlorophyll important to the animal cell?
Animal cells don't have chlorophyll.
What contains chlorophyll green pigment that traps energy from the sunlight?
Chloroplast in a plant cell can convert light energy into chemical energy that is required in plant cells.
Is chlorophyll found in a plant or in an animal cell?
Only plant cells contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for gathering light energy to use for photosynthesis.
What things do plant cells have that animal cells do not have?
Chlorophyll
Would you find a chlorophyll in a plant cell or animal cell?
Plant cells only, animal cells do not contain chloroplasts or chlorophyll.
How Animal cells are different from plant cells because they lack a?
Animal cells dont have chlorophyll
Where do plants get their energy from?
Most plants get their energy from the sun via absorption via their Chlorophyll.
Is chlorophyll in plant or animal cells?
It is found in plant cells.
