Animal cells have chloroplasts.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 8 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that animal cells have chloroplasts?

No. Standard biology textbooks state that plant cells, but not animal cells, have chloroplasts. Other sources note chloroplasts appear in animal cells only when acquired from algae or artificially introduced in the lab.
