What made plants carry out photosynthesis while even green coloured animals (like some birds) could not?

Answer»

1. Chlorophyll and other pigment molecules trap (harvest) solar energy, convert it into chemical energy in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. 

2. But animals having green colour on their body cannot trap solar energy and cannot perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is possible only in plants but not in animals.
