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.
Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.
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.
because it does...?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast.Respiration occurs in mitochondria.
enoplasmic reticulum
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and does not occur in animals.
Photosynthesis in plants cannot occur without water.
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.
they die obviously....becoz photosynthesis doesnt occur.
Photosynthesis only occurs in plants, on the leaves, to produce nutrients for it. Animals all respire, which is effectively the opposite of respiration.
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.
chloroplasts, because photsynthesis only occurs in plants, not animals
No, photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight.
Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to occur.
Animals depend on photosynthesis for food and oxygen.
The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.
Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.
