It is rather complex but when you eat food, it is broken down into small parts that are absorbed by the blood. The carbohydrates are most Important as food since they produce ATP which drives the machinery of the cell.

What do cells do to in order to survive?

There are many things that a cell must do in order to survive. Cells must for example absorb nutrients and take in water.


How do animal cells make food?

Animal cells do not make food; instead, they obtain energy by consuming organic materials. They rely on a process called cellular respiration, where glucose and oxygen are converted into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the cells. Unlike plant cells, which can perform photosynthesis to produce their own food, animal cells must rely on their diet for energy.

How long can animals survive without food?

It depends on the age and where they live. Animals with abundant amounts of food may not survive without food for two days because of the way they adapt. Animals where food is scarce are more likely to survive because they are used to not having food.

What is the difference between plant cells and animal cells?

Both plant and animal cells have cell membranes. Plant cells also contain what is called a cell wall. This cell wall gives plants cells much of its structure and makes them fairly rigid. In plant cells you are also likely to find chloroplasts which are used in photosynthesis, where as no animal cell will ever have a chloroplast.


Why does the plant cell have more organelles than the animal cell?

This is probably because in addition to carrying out all of the same functions as the animal cell, the plant cell must also carry out photosynthesis to make its own food. Animal cells ingest food and use digestion to obtain energy from it, so the cells do not have to make it individually. Hence, plant cells have chloroplasts. Also, plant cells must in general have more structure than animal cells. Hence the permenant vacuole and the cellulose cell wall.
