What must cells contain in order to perform photosynthesis?

Cells must contain chloroplasts, which are organelles that contain chlorophyll, in order to perform photosynthesis.


Could it be possible to animals to perform photosynthesis why?

No,because animal cell do not have chlorophyll


Which group of phototrophs contain a bluish pigment and chlorophyll a?

Cyanobacteria contain a bluish pigment called phycocyanin and chlorophyll a, allowing them to perform photosynthesis.


Do animals use chlorophyll to produce glucose?

No, it's an exclusive attribute of plants. Plants contain chlorophyll (it's what makes them green), which through the process of photosynthesis produces glucose. Animals get glucose from plants.


What cell structure plants have that animals don't?

Plants have cell structures called chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy. Animals do not have chloroplasts as they do not perform photosynthesis.


Why animals cannot perform photosynthesis?

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


What types of organisms perform photosynthesis?

Plants, algae, and some bacteria are organisms that perform photosynthesis. These organisms contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.


Animals are unable to make their own food because their cells lack?

What organelle allows plants to photosynthesize?

The chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment, chlorophyll, which uses light to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.


Can bacteria perform photosynthesis?

No, bacteria cannot perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that requires chlorophyll, a pigment found in plants and some algae, to convert sunlight into energy. Bacteria do not have chlorophyll and therefore cannot carry out photosynthesis.
