Solution

Plants make food with the help of chlorophyll, as this is the only component that can absorb solar radiation.
And without solar energy, photosynthesis as a process is not possible. Since the human body does not have this
pigment called chlorophyll
Hence, humans cannot make food from carbon dioxide, water, and minerals.
