Humans lack the enzyme required to produce vitamin C internally, unlike most animals. This is due to a genetic mutation that occurred in our ancestors millions of years ago.
Humans have unique vitamin requirements compared to other animals because our bodies cannot produce certain essential vitamins on their own, so we must obtain them from our diet. This is different from many animals that can synthesize these vitamins internally.
Bacteria in our gut help break down indigestible fibers from food to produce short-chain fatty acids that provide energy to our cells. Certain bacteria also synthesize vitamins, such as vitamin K and certain B vitamins, that our bodies are unable to produce on their own.
no, a consumer consumes food. Generally, a consumer eats other consumers or producers. The only level in the ecosystem that can produce their own food are the producers, mainly plants. All other organisms have to consume food.
Humans, like all animals, are heterotrophic. They can't synthesize their own food and have to eat other organisms to survive.

Guinea pigs, humans.
Horses, unlike humans, can produce vitamin C on their own in their liver. This means that they do not require additional vitamin C in their diet.
Guinea pigs can't produce vitamin C on their own and must consume it. Foods such as fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamin C and are needed in the guinea pigs diet.
Vitamin D is a class of prohormones that is used by animals to make steroidal hormones. Plants do not need these compounds.

Humans are heterotrophs, which means they rely on consuming organic compounds from other organisms to obtain their energy and nutrients for survival. Autotrophs, on the other hand, are organisms that can produce their own food through processes such as photosynthesis.
Make their own food.
a few can, most cant
Autotroph
well they are allowed to eat oranges i read that in a book but it also said they can produce their own vitamin c
NONE! animals are consumers. they cant produce their own food.
Humans - like every other animal - are consumers.
