Plants are the only organisms that can prepare food for themselves by water, carbon dioxide and minerals in the presence of sunlight as plants have chlorophyll pigment. … Plants can make their food themselves but animals including humans cannot because they do not possess chlorophyll pigment for photosynthesis.

We can not synthesis or prepare our food like plants because chlorophyll ( green pigment ) is not present in us.
