Imagine animal cells had chloroplasts. Chloroplasts allow plant cells to perform photosynthesis. How do
you think this would change the way animals gain energy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It would change the way they gain energy by the animals not having enough things in the body to get it functioning right.

Explanation:

think of it as gas our cars need gas to run, so do animals and us but our gas is food

If animal cells had chloroplasts, it means animals would be able to gain energy directly from sunlight by being able to manufacture carbohydrates as a food source.

The presence of chloroplast would allow an animal cell to photosynthesize and manufacture foods in the form of carbohydrates.

[tex]6CO_2 + 6H_2O ---> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2[/tex]

The food can be broken down during respiration in order for the energy to be extracted.

[tex]C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 ---> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O[/tex]

This would be in addition to animals' ability to gain energy from external food sources through the same respiration.
