Animals cannot perform photosyntheis because they are heterotrophs(which depends on autotrophs for food). Autotrophs contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which traps light energy and produce food e.g Plants
Plants can carry out photosynthesis because of chlorophyll in the plant tissues. Animals cannot carry out photosynthesis because animals do not have chlorophylls and the tissues cannot convert the light energy absorbed into the organic molecules that an individual needs.
Because animals lack photosynthetic apparatus i. e. the chloroplast
-----
Photosynthesis occurs in the Chlorophyll which is not present in animal cells.
Unlike plants, we can't make our own food.
Animal cells lack the capability to perform photosynthesis because they do not have the specialized organelles (e.g. chloroplasts) and/or proteins that can carry out the process.
humans and animals cannot photosynthesize because we do not contain Chloroplast's/Chlorophyll. these two things are what allow plants to get energy from the sun.
Because they're animals, and plants are only able to photosynthesize. That's where we get the oxygen from.
because animals does not contain chlorophyll
photosynthesis can only occur when there is chlorophyll. Animals and people do not have chlorophyll and only plants have it.
Because they lack photosynthetic pigments and enzymes related. They are heterotrophic as aresult
there are no photosynthetic animals
plants need to photosynthesis as this is how they make their food. animals do not as they get their food from other sources such as plants and other animals.
Some organisms perform photosynthesis to produce energy other organisms cannot do photosynthesis what can they do in order to generate energy?
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.
At low temperatures the enzymes which carry out photosynthesis have very little energy, therefore they cannot perform photosynthesis very quickly. jordon Adams
There are no animals that perform photosynthesis but there are a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria that rely partially on photosynthesis to generate metabolic energy.
One process that plants perform that animals do not is photosynthesis.
there are no photosynthetic animals
No. We do not perform the function of photosynthesis as we are heterotrophs.Plants ,who are autotrophs perform photosynthesis to make their ownfood.The plants by this process convert the suns energy into their food
plants need to photosynthesis as this is how they make their food. animals do not as they get their food from other sources such as plants and other animals.
No, in general only plants can perform photosynthesis although some bacteria can. No animals can.
No,because animal cell do not have chlorophyll
Animals do not rely on photosynthesis - plants do. Animals cannot make their own food. That's why they can move around.
No animal is photosynthetic. They should feed on other organisms
Some organisms perform photosynthesis to produce energy other organisms cannot do photosynthesis what can they do in order to generate energy?
ability to perform photosynthesis
People cannot perform photosynthesis, in Autumn when tree leaves change colors that is what photosynthesis is. In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments.
