Can Animals Have Chloroplasts
Animals acquire nutrients by ingestion.
Can animals have chloroplasts. No animal cells do not have chloroplasts. One example of this is that plant cells have chloroplasts that allow them to perform photosynthesis for energy but animal cells do not have chloroplasts since they get their energy elsewhere. Quite a few examples are in the cnidarians.
In fact many animals have done exactly this. Chloroplast structure within the cells of plants and green algae that is the site of photosynthesis. Eukaryotic Plasma membrane Mitochondrion Can have Ciliaflagella Large vacuole Small or no vacuole Chloroplasts Cell wall Endoplasmic reticulum 10-30 um 10-100 um Golgi apparatus Nucleus Cytoplasm.
Write in the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. With few exceptions most chloroplasts have their entire chloroplast genome combined into a single large circular DNA molecule typically 120000170000 base pairs long. It lets them photosynthesise and nicks the sugars that.
Pierces slug however takes just parts of cells the little green photosynthetic organelles called chloroplasts from the algae it eats. At least one group of animals has done this the Elysia sea slugs. Plant cells have chloroplast.
Like plant cells photosynthetic protists also have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the sun into sugars that can be used by. No animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
Chlorotica uptake entire chloroplasts in specialized epithelial cells lining their intestines. The chloroplast was just too good an invention and many other organisms managed to beg. Cells whether plant or animal learn how to degrade defunct energy organelles selectively to survive By better understanding this process in chloroplasts the Salk team may be able to also glean insight into how the cells handle misbehaving mitochondria.
