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 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.


Why cant humans make food from water and 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


Why will plants die if they dont have sunlight?

they die because they need to have photosynthesis to make food and energy to save for respiration and once they use all the stored food and energy and there is still no sunlight they cant make more so they die.

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.
