Instead, animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms, either plants or other animals. In a process called heterotrophic nutrition, animals break down organic matter from their food into simpler molecules that release energy.
Do animal cells use chloroplasts to trap the suns energy?
Animal cells do not use chloroplasts to trap the sun's energy. Animal cells lack chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, which is the process of converting light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules.
