Question
how do animal cells obtain glucose? from consuming food by producing it in mitochondria through photosynthesis by absorbing sunlight
Animal cells cannot produce glucose on their own. Mitochondria are for energy production (cellular respiration), not glucose synthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in plant cells (with chloroplasts), not animal cells. Absorbing sunlight doesn't produce glucose in animal cells. Animals consume food, which contains nutrients like carbohydrates (broken down to glucose).
