The process of photosynthesis occur in plant cells mainly because of the presence of special cells known as chloroplasts. These chloroplasts contain a green pigment known as CHLOROPHYLL. This pigment makes use of energy from sunlight to split water molecules into their constituent hydrogen and hydroxide ions,(a process known as PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER). The hydrogen ions thus react with the carbon dioxide within the cells to form carbohydrates.
On the contrary, animal cells lacks this chloroplasts, hence the absence of CHLOROPHYLL. Since there is no chlorophyll, there is on mechanism for the photolysis of water that will lead to the formation of carbohydrates, thus photosynthesis does not occur in animal cells.
What else can I help you with?
What is photosynthesis in what major organelle does it occur in?
Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.
Does photosynthesis or cellular respiration only occur in plants?
No, both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in plants as well as in other organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and animals. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to produce energy, while cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down glucose and produce ATP for energy.
Why does photosynthesis occur in a plant?
because it does...?
Where do photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in cell?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast.Respiration occurs in mitochondria.
What cell does photosynthesis occur in?
enoplasmic reticulum
Where does photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and does not occur in animals.
What would happen to photosynthesis in a plant grown that doesnt have water?
Photosynthesis in plants cannot occur without water.
Where does photosynthesis occur in animals?
Photosynthesis does not occur in animals. It is a process that takes place in plants, algae, and some bacteria, where they convert sunlight into energy. Animals obtain energy through consuming plants or other animals.
What happens if vegetables don't get enough sun?
they die obviously....becoz photosynthesis doesnt occur.
Do photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?
Photosynthesis only occurs in plants, on the leaves, to produce nutrients for it. Animals all respire, which is effectively the opposite of respiration.
What is one reason that photosynthesis does not occur in animals?
Photosynthesis does not occur in animals because we can not (nor do we need to) make our own food through a chemical process involving sunlight, oxygen, and water that turns those three ingredients into sugar.
What organelle has to be present for photosynthesis to occur?
chloroplasts, because photsynthesis only occurs in plants, not animals
Can photosynthesis occur without sunlight?
No, photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight.
What is necessary for photosynthesis to occur?
Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to occur.
How do animals depends on photosynthesis?
Animals depend on photosynthesis for food and oxygen.
Where does The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells.?
The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.
What is photosynthesis in what major organelle does it occur in?
Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.
