Can animal cells make food from sunlight?

No they can't but Plant cells can.


Do human and plant cells make food from sunlight?

No, only plant cells have the ability to photosynthesize and convert sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis. Human cells do not have this capability and must obtain nutrients from consuming plants or other animals.


Can both plant and animal cells make food from sunlight?

no only plants can


Why are chloroplast found in plant cells and not animal cells?

plant cells have chloroplast because it needs to store sunlight and to make food whereas human cells take energy from the food we eat

Leaf cells in plants contain chloroplasts that help the cell make its own food through?

natural sunlight


Why can't cells use sunlight to make food?

Plant cells which are equipped with chlorophyll are able to use sunlight as an energy source to drive chemical reactions that make sugar. Other cells that do not have chlorophyll are not able to do this. Note that we human beings do have some capability to make vitamin D in our skin, using the energy of sunlight. So we too perform a type of photosynthesis.


Do plant cells help make the plants make food?

Yes, plant cells help make food through a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts within plant cells contain chlorophyll that captures sunlight, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar), providing the plant with energy.


What were the first types of cells able to make their own food?

The first types of cells able to make their own food were likely primitive prokaryotic cells, specifically cyanobacteria. These cells were able to perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy through the use of chlorophyll and producing their own food through this process.


Which organelle in plant cells enables them to make food?

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (food) and oxygen.


What is used to plant cells to make food?

if you mean what is used in plants cells to make food then its through a process called photosynthesis in which light, carbon dioxide and water (dihydroxide) bond to form glucose which in turn bond to form starch. h2o +co2 +sunlight ---> c6 h12 o6 + 02 the chemical in plant cells which helps plants make food is called chlorophyll and it absorbs sunlight.
