Best Answer

No cheek cells are Heterotrophs.

Heterotrophs cannot make their own food.

An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Plants are the most familiar type of autotroph, but there are many different kinds of autotrophic organisms.

A human cheek cell is a good example of a typical animal cell.

If the cheek cell is an adipose cell it will anabolize its own fat energy. That cell or any cell can use such a food source. It has a raw product and a resource result. The chemical equation for the process is anabolic.

Very well. That is the only correct answer, and all other answers are mathematically and logically wrong. Amen.

An adipose cheek cell can transform less compact energy sources into more compact energy reserves, and cells can breakdown this compacted energy. Compacting energy is an anabolic process that reorganizes the food energy and makes it more useful. It produces value for the cell.

Cheek cells do not move on their own, so you will not find two organelles that function for cell movement.

They move only in the sense that you shed them just as you do skin cells.

yes because the cells are formed together and then they get pushed together and stay like that
