We analyse the Friedmann-Einstein equations for the Universe evolution with the expansion parameter $a$ dependent on time only in the Einstein gravity with the chameleon field, changing its mass in dependence of a density of its environment. We show that the chameleon field can be identified with quintessence (a canonical scalar field responsible for the late-time acceleration of the Universe expansion and dark energy dynamics) if and only if the radiation rho_r(a) and matter rho_m(a) (dark and baryon matter) densities in the Universe evolution differ from their standard dependence on the expansion parameter a, i.e. rho_r(a) ~ a^{-4} and rho_m ~ a^{-3}, respectively, and these deviations are caused by the conformal factor, relating the Einstein and Jordan frames and defining the interaction of the chameleon field with its environment.
