Does animal cell have chloroplast?

No, animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found exclusively in plant cells and certain algae. They are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy stored in glucose, and they contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures light energy.

Animal cells lack chloroplasts because they do not perform photosynthesis. Instead, animal cells obtain energy by consuming organic compounds through their diet, and they rely on mitochondria to generate ATP through cellular respiration.
