No animal photosynthesizes it is only plants that can do this. However some animals (like corals) have a symbiosis with a plant that enables them to use plant energy without eating the plant.

They do not directly use photosynthesis. They feed on photosynthesis indirectly

∙ 12y agoI don't think animals can use photosynthesis because animal cells do not have chloroplasts, which are essential to photosynthesis.

Can animals do photosynthesis?
No, animals only carry out respiration. Only plants have photosynthesis. Although, there is a rare green sea slug, which is now being considered half plant and half animal because it carries out both respiration and photosynthesis.
The food plants make is what?
Photosynthesis
How photosynthesis is useful for animals?
Photosynthesis cannot effect a meat eating animal.Photosynthesis has to take place with 3 main things: sun, chlorophyll, and oxygen.Now notice how I said chlorophyll. Meat eating animals do not have chlorophyll. This means the formula of life (or in other words, photosynthesis,) cannot take place.No meat eating animals have anything to do with photosynthesis. Even if it was plant eating animals, they still have nothing to do with photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is for plants only. So photosynthesis cannot effect meat eating animals in ANYWAY.Hope that answered your question.
Do humans need photosynthesis to survive explain your answer?
Indirectly, yes. We humans eat plants; plants grow and generate energy by photosynthesis, so we need it. Or, we humans eat animals, and the animals eat plants, which use photosynthesis. At some level, our life depends on plants.
What molecule is a process of photosynthesis?
Why is photosynthesis essential to animals?
Can animals photosynthesis yes or no?
Do you know what photosynthesis is? It's when plants take energy, water and carbon dioxide and create sugar and oxygen. Cellular respiration is what animals use, which is the opposite of photosynthesis where in the atoms of an animal, sugar and oxygen is used to create energy, water and carbon dioxide. Animals CAN NOT use photosynthesis.
What does photosynthesis replenish that animals use in metabolism?
Atmospheric Oxygen
What do animals breathe out that plants use for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide
What gas plants and animals use is a product of photosynthesis?
oxygen
Can animals do photosynthesis?
No, animals only carry out respiration. Only plants have photosynthesis. Although, there is a rare green sea slug, which is now being considered half plant and half animal because it carries out both respiration and photosynthesis.
Do animals produce photosynthesis?
Animals don't use photosynthesis. Only plants do.Animals obtain energy and carbon from other organisms. Plants get from light and CO2
Why is photosynthesis badly needed by man and animals?
Photosynthesis is where plants get nutrients from the sun. This is important for man and animals because, if the plants couldn't use photosynthesis, they would die off. If all the plants die off, then man and animals couldn't get nutrients fom the plants, therefore making the process of photosynthesis needed by both plants and animals.
How do animals depends on photosynthesis?
Animals depend on photosynthesis for food and oxygen.
What are the 3 main difference between a plant and an animal?
animals have a brain, animals can move on their own will, and animals dont use photosynthesis
Do Coral use photosynthesis?
No, coral are animals. But, they do need algea to survie, which does need photosynthesis.
The food plants make is what?
Photosynthesis
What is the name of the process that animals use to release energy?
Respiration; It is a part of Photosynthesis in plants
