What orgenelle in an animal cell is the site of autotrophic nutrition?
It’s a regents question which I need help with.
This is an odd question, since animals are heterotrophs not autotrophs. Plants are autotrophs (can make their own food and high energy molecules) and they use chloroplasts to do it. Animal cells get their high energy molecules by eating food, breaking it down and then extracting the energy using the organelle called a mitochondrion.
The Mitochondria i think : ))
