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.

If the animal cell had chloroplast it would still have it same color?

No, the presence of chloroplasts in an animal cell would not affect its color because chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and do not perform photosynthesis.

What is the chloroplast and why dont cells have chloroplast?

Do plant and animal cells have the same parts?

Plant and animal cells have some parts in common, such as a cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm.

Additionally, animal cells have structures like centrioles that are not typically found in plant cells.
