Do Any Animals Have Chloroplasts
Which is really really cool as I will go over in another post.
Do any animals have chloroplasts. Humans and animals dont have chloroplasts in their cells. All cells need to be able to harness energy for food and chloroplasts get their name from chlorophyll which is a green pigment used for photosynthesis giving plants their food. A little freshwater jellyfish called hydra pinches chloroplasts out of green algae and keeps them in its own gut.
Yes most of this is possible - under some conditions - and animals and animal cells can acquire chloroplasts and use them. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Pierces slug however takes just parts of cells the little green photosynthetic organelles called chloroplasts from the algae it eats.
Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. Well no animals do not have any chloroplasts because it is used for photosynthesisIn a plant it also is the green pigmentation on a plant. Protists are single-celled and normally transfer by cilia flagella or by amoeboid mechanisms.
They do not comprise. Chloroplasts are the organelles that are the site of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell.
Animals are heterotrophic consume or eat their food and are not autotrophic make or produce their own food like plants and some bacteria. Quite a few examples are in the cnidarians. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae.
Animals cannot do this. They do not need the rigid network that cell walls provide to stand upright. Plant cells have a cell wall chloroplasts plasmodesmata and plastids used for storage and a large central vacuole whereas animal cells do not.
