Do both animal and plant cells have chloroplasts? Explain why or why not. (1 point) A
Yes. Chloroplasts transport important molecules for the cell to use. All cells need to be able to harness energy for food and chloroplasts get their name from chlorophyll, which is a green pigment used for photosynthesis giving plants their food. They are named chloroplasts because they were discovered in plant cells before they were discovered in animal cells.

B
No, not all. Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. All plant cells have chloroplasts, but only some animal cells, such as green frogs, have chloroplasts.

C
Yes. Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. All plant cells have chloroplasts, but only some animal cells, such as green frogs, have chloroplasts.

D
No. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which plants use to absorb light energy as part of photosynthesis. Animals do not perform photosynthesis, so they do not have chloroplasts.
