No, animal cells cannot make their own food because only plants and certain bacterium can convert light energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis). Animal cells acquire energy from their environment.

they don't have chloroplast which stores solar energy and allows plant cells to do photosynthesis

What can a plant cell do that no animal cell can?

Plant cells can use photosynthesis, in which it uses its chloroplasts (animal cells do not have chloroplasts) to change the energy from the sun into energy it can use. This is why plants do not have to eat: they get everything they need from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Plant cells also have cell walls, chlorophyll, and a very large water vacuole that makes the cell very sturdy by containing water. ---- In other words, a plant can make its own food.


How are animal cells and plant cells different?

Animal cells do not have the same cell wall like plant cells do.Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, but animal cells don't.Plant cells usually have one or more large vacuoles (food & liquid compartments), but some animal cells have regular vacuoles while other animal cells don't have any vacuoles. these are the reasons


What stores food and materials larger in plant cells than in animal cells?

Which is bigger animal cells or bacteria cells?

Plant cells are bigger than animal cells because they have a fixed shape and animal cells have an irregular shape. Plant cells also have bigger vacuoles and chloroplasts (which the animal doesn't have) therefore adding to its largeness.Edited answer:The largest single cell is an animal egg. this is so because in many cases (as in birds) this cell has to develop into a juvenile animal on its food reserves after getting fertilized.


What structure do plant cells have during cytokinesis that animal cells do not?

Plant cell make it own food by the process of photosynthesis. While animal cell gets its energy from the food we eat.

What is the difference between a plant and animal?

plants need to make they're own food as they cannot chew or swallow food. they known as autotrophs. they make there own food via photosynthesis. the food takes the form of glucose. animals can chew and swallow food. they knows as heterotrophs.


What type of food cannot be organic?

Foods that are produced with harmful chemicals, preservatives and pesticides are not organic.


What are organic food and how are they different from other food?

Organic food is food that is grown or raised under certain conditions. Organic food generally limits non-organic (non-natural) pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers as much as possible. If an organic food involves meat, then the base animal was grown without the effects of growth hormones.


Is soda organic?

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate) is considered an inorganic chemical (although it contains carbon the molecule is very simple). But for food purposes it is neither nonorganic nor organic because it cannot be grown in a crop nor produced by an animal, so it is not affected by the organic food rules.


Can animal cells make food from sunlight?

No they can't but Plant cells can.
