Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Animal cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -However, plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same organelles, since they each have different needs. For example, plant cells contain chloroplasts since they need to perform photosynthesis, but animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, but not in animal cells. The purpose of the chloroplast is to make sugars that feed the cell’s machinery. Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy from the Sun and creating sugars.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process by which plants generate their own food by using light, carbon dioxide, water and chlorophyll is known as photosynthesis. Chlorophyll pigment is present in chloroplasts of the plant cell. Due to the absence of chloroplasts in animal cells, photosynthesis does not take place in them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The false statement is B: chloroplasts are indeed related to plastids. Chloroplasts are a form of plastids, found in plant cells and certain algae, with the function of carrying out photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts contain green pigment called chlorophyll which helps in manufacture of food through the process of photosynthesis. Since, animals do not manufacture food so they do not need chloroplast. And hence, chloroplast is found only in plant cell.
