Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is a common perception that animal cells do not have chloroplasts, the organelles that performs photosynthesis. Yet, a small number of sea slugs are able to incorporate carbon from CO2 by performing photosynthesis using sequestered chloroplasts from the macroalgae in their diet.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, plant cells contain chloroplasts since they need to perform photosynthesis, but animal cells do not.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are found only in plants and photosynthetic algae. (Humans and other animals do not have chloroplasts.) The chloroplast’s job is to carry out a process called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, light energy is collected and used to build sugars from carbon dioxide.
