Question

Where in an animal cell is Photosynthesis located?

Answer 1

this only happens in plants.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis occurs in plant cells in the chloroplasts.

Answer 3

Happened in mitochondria cell, but is't not photosynthesis.

Answer 4

no where... photosynthesis happens in plant cells.

Answer 5

Animals as a group are incapable of photosynthesis.  Animals are considered to be heterotrophic requiring complex organic molecules in their diets.

Although the answer to your question appears to be quite straight forward, there are some animals that appear to photosynthesize!  

There are hydras (freshwater) that have endosymbiotic algae in their bodies.  The hydra don't photosynthesize but the algae contribute significantly to the nutrition of hydra.

The giant clams also have endosymbiotic algae in the mantel of the clam.  The clams will starve to death if the algae are killed due to turbidity of the water or chemicals that kill the algae!

Answer 6

photosynthesis only happens in plants. . .

Answer 7

ummmm.... It's not?

Answer 8

Since Photosynthesis is the method used by plants (and some algae and bacteria) to convert light energy into chemical energy (ie food), you will not find it in an animal cell.
