Question

Can our cells undergo photosynthesis? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis occurs in cell organelles called chloroplasts, which are not found in human cells. Even if we could photosynthesize, we don’t have enough surface area on our skin to generate the amount of energy (ATP) that humans need to survive.

Answer 2

No, Human bodies cannot undergo photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our body's demand for glucose is higher than photosynthesis can accommodate. We also don't have chloroplasts to be able to carry out photosynthesis.
