Describe at least 2 benefits and 2 drawbacks there might be for animal cells (including humans) to make their own food through photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Benefits

Animals will not depend on plant source again for their food but have it produced directly by themselves because photosynthesis will allow animal produce their own food

Animal will get a direct source of energy for their activities. Energy is derived from food consumed after the food has been broken down in the body system of animal. Animal photosynthesis will give animals access to direct source of energy as the product their food.

Demerit

Animal lacks chlorophyll the green. Pigment in plant that light hit on absorption that will enable them to photosynthesis.

Animal lacks ways or mechanism of regulating Carbondioxide in take as in the case of C4 plant and crassulacean metabolic pathway (CAM).

Animals such as human will not have access to varieties of food but stick to photosynthate produced by them.
