Autotrophs are animals that make their own food. One example of an autotroph would be plankton however, in general, animals are heterotrophs and therefore obtain their carbon and nutrients through consuming the producers of the food chain. This is then broken down via digestion and transported to cells.

How do animal cells make food?

Animal cells do not make food; instead, they obtain energy by consuming organic materials. They rely on a process called cellular respiration, where glucose and oxygen are converted into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the cells. Unlike plant cells, which can perform photosynthesis to produce their own food, animal cells must rely on their diet for energy.
