No, in fact no animals create chloroplasts. Some animals can, however, engulf other photosynthetic organisms and through either a symbiotic relationship with the photosynthetic organism or by appropriation of photosynthetic mechanisms these animals can photosynthesize. An example of this would be the sea slug Elysia chlorotica which eats algae. It has a unique digestive tract that does not digest the algal chloroplasts for energy but instead engulfs them into the slugs tissues via phagocytosis. The chloroplasts can "survive" for several months before new chloroplasts are needed to replace the old ones. This is because the slug itself does not create the chloroplasts but steals them from the algae and incorporates them into its own tissues.
What else can I help you with?
Is chloroplasts non living?
yes its a non living thing its present in the cell but all chemial reactions take place here
What are the characteristics of life?
All living things growAll living things reproduceAll living things exhibit variationsAll living things respond to certain stimuliAll living things need and use energyAll living things have an intricacy of formAll living things maintain homeostasisThere are 6 characteristics of life. 1. All living things have cells. 2. All living things have essential chemicals. 3. All living things use energy. 4. All living things respond to stimuli. 5. All living things reproduce. 6. All living things grow and develop. Living things are made of cells.Living things obtain and use energy.Living things grow and develop.Living things reproduce.Living things respond to their environment.Living things adapt to their environment.
Which characteristic of living things is not observed in all living things and which living thing does not show this characteristic?
Movement is that characterstics not shown by all living things, plants are the example of this.
What are the four life functions of all living things?
The four life functions of all living things are: nutrition (obtaining and using energy), transport (moving substances within the organism), respiration (releasing energy from food), and excretion (removing waste products).
All living things contain which element?
all living things are made up of cells.
Are chloroplasts found in living things?
Yes they are in living. They are in autotrophic eukariyotes
Does Chloroplasts occur in all living things?
No, chloroplasts are primarily found in the cells of plants and some algae. They are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Animals do not have chloroplasts in their cells.
How do chloroplasts set plants apart from living things?
Chloroplasts set plants apart from other living things in that they are the only parts of a cell that do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants (mostly the chloroplasts) use sun and carbon dioxide to make food and create oxygen. Photosynthesis sets plants apart and chloroplasts do photosynthesis.
What are the 6 characteristics of living things are?
All living things are made of cells. All living things require and use energy. All living things grow, develop, reproduce and repair themselves. All living things produce waste All living things respond and adapt to their environment. All living things have a life span.
What do all living things do?
Considering that plants are also living things we all need oxygen, so all living things breath.
5 Characteristics of living things?
All living things are made of cells, all living things ether need or produce oxygen, all living things reproduce, all living things make and use energy, and all living things adapt to their enviorment.
What types of living things have chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and some algae. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis, allowing these organisms to convert sunlight into energy.
Do eukaryote cells have chloroplasts?
No. Animal cells do not contain chloroplasts. Photosynthesis occurs within chloroplasts. They are found in plants and other eukaryotic organisms that undergo photosynthesis (such as algae).
What do all living things use?
All living things use energy
Is not found in all living things?
Carbon IS found in all living things.
What is the basic living unit of all living things?
cells are the basic unit of living things
Is chloroplasts non living?
yes its a non living thing its present in the cell but all chemial reactions take place here
