Why can't animal Cells capture energy from sunlight and use it to make food?

Animal cells do get their energy from undertaking aerobic respiration. During this process, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen. The water and carbon dioxide released accompany energy.

∙ 13y agoYes, but that's not their intention. Plant cells use light energy to make glucose via photosynthesis, but some ATP molecules are made during the process.

What creates the energy used in photosynthesis?
The sunlight the chloroplast in the plant cells capture. The chloroplast first gets the sunlight. Then, it uses other stuff like CO2 and water to create the energy that the plant uses.
How do plant cells capture and store energy?
The cells have tiny organelles called Chloroplasts that react to sunlight and create energy that combines with glucose and then becomes stored in the Large Central Vacuole to be used at a later time by the mitochondria which breaks down the compounds and releases the energy.
What cell caputres energy and producess food?
All cells "capture" energy, and are able to convert that energy into food. Plant Cells (Prokaryotes) capture the energy emitted from the sun and convert that into energy so they can survive (Photosynthesis).
Why does a plant cell have a cell wall and chlorophyll and an animal cell doesn't?
Its because the plant needs to be stable because it would be really floppy, and the animal cell does not because it can move around the animal and it does not need to be stablised. Animal cells do not have chlorophyll because they don't need it. Plant cells need them because they take in sunlight and turn it into a sugar that is used for food for energy. Animal cells do not get their energy from the sun directly, they get it from oxygen. Animal cells do not photosythesise, which is what chlorophyll is for.
What captures energy from sunlight?
The chloroplasts in the cells capture the sunlight. Chloroplasts contain the chemical chlorophyll, which gather light energy, kind of like how solar plates work. The sunlight energy is then used along with water and carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis. I hope this answers your question!
What cell capure energy from sunlight?
Photosynthetic cells. Chloplasts capture sunlight in plant cells.
The process by which a cell captures the energy in sunlight?
Plant cells use chloroplast- animals don't capture energy.
Why can't animals make their own food using sunlight?
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.
What do Chloroplasts do in animal and plant cells?
Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells and not in animal cells. Their function is to help convert sunlight into energy for the plant.
How are the ways plants and solar cells in which they capture sunlight and convert it into other forms of energy different?
to they eat the people .

Do plant cells capture energy by way of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is not the process of capturing sunlight, it's the process of turning light energy into chemical energy. Plants capture energy through chloroplasts, which is what our solar panels are based on.
How does an animal gets energy from the sun?
Animals get energy from the sun by the chloroplasts in the animals cells. The chloroplasts capture energy from the sun and use it to produce energy to the cell and therefore, the animal.
What does the Chlorplast of the cell do?
Chloroplast is an organelle that is only found in plant cells. It's job is to capture light energy and can make sugar from carbon dioxide and water. It contains a pigment that makes plant cells, stems, and leaves green.
What creates the energy used in photosynthesis?
The sunlight the chloroplast in the plant cells capture. The chloroplast first gets the sunlight. Then, it uses other stuff like CO2 and water to create the energy that the plant uses.
Do animal cells Cary out any of processes in different ways from plant cells?
They are basically are the same except that plant cells have chloroplasts, which trap sunlight for energy.
What do plants cells use to capture sunlight?
They use the various types of Chlorophyll molecules.
