Chloroplasts contain a green substance called chlorophyll. This reacts in the presence of light to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose (and oxygen - a waste product of photosynthesis). This is one of the parts of the cell.

Why can plant perform photosynthesis but animals cannot?

Plants contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll, which allows them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy. Animals do not have chloroplasts and lack the necessary cellular machinery to carry out photosynthesis. Instead, animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms.


Why do plants need energy of sunlight?

Plants use the energy from sunlight to carry out photosynthesis.


Why do plants need chloroplast and the animal cells don't need it?

Plants need chlorophyll because that is what allows them to convert sunlight to energy they can use in their metabolism. People do not use chlorophyll, and so don't have it, because as animals we do not convert sunlight directly to energy. We eat plants, or other animals that eat plants, and use their energy.
