In plant cells, they have little bags called chloroplasts which hold Chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are what give plants their green colour, as well as their ability to photosynthesise, and are held in the cytoplasm. Animal cells do not have Chloroplasts or chlorophyll.

Why are animals unable to make their food?

Why do all animals depends on plants for food?
Look at it this way:-All life needs energy, to grow, move, reproduce etc.The source of this energy is the light from our local star (the Sun).Animals can not make thir own food or use of sunlight directly - they obtain the energy they need by eating plants or other animals that eat plants. Animals are consumers.Plants however can make direct use of sunlight, their green leaves trap the sunlight and store the energy of the sunlight as chemical energy in sugars which they produce. Plants are therefore called producers.Thus as you can see plants form the basis of the energy supply for all animals.
