Yes, an animal cell is considered a consumer because it obtains energy by consuming organic materials, typically in the form of food. Unlike plants, which are producers and generate their own energy through photosynthesis, animal cells rely on the intake of nutrients from their environment. This characteristic classifies animals, and consequently their cells, as heterotrophs in ecological terms.
