Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of an animal?

Have eukaryotic cells
digest their food
make their own food*******
have many cells with different functions

Right!

To determine which of the characteristics is NOT a characteristic of an animal, we need to understand what each characteristic means.

1. Have eukaryotic cells: Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus enclosed within a membrane, and they contain various organelles. All animals have eukaryotic cells, so this characteristic is common to animals.

2. Digest their food: Animals obtain energy by ingesting and breaking down food through the process of digestion. This characteristic is also common to animals.

3. Make their own food: This characteristic refers to the process of producing food through photosynthesis, which is carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria. Animals do not have the ability to make their own food. They are heterotrophic, meaning they rely on consuming other organisms for their energy and nutrient requirements.

4. Have many cells with different functions: Animals are made up of multiple cells that work together in a coordinated manner to perform different functions. This characteristic is also common to animals.

Therefore, the characteristic "make their own food" is NOT a characteristic of an animal.
