As an animal, you need eukaryotic cells rather than plant cells to perform many of the functions that differentiate animals from plants. One example is that eukaryotic cells have mitochondria rather than chloroplasts. This allows eukaryotes (you) to synthesize metabolic products from a variety of heterotrophically-obtained molecules instead of using autotrophic processes.
