Plants get energy by combining sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make glucose through photosynthesis. Animals get energy by consuming other organisms.

What do plants need that animals don't and why?

Plants need sunlight to carry out photosynthesis, a process where they convert light energy into chemical energy. Animals do not photosynthesize, so they do not require sunlight in the same way that plants do. Additionally, plants need carbon dioxide to produce sugars and oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.


What supplies organisms with the food energy and other resources needed to live?

Organisms obtain food energy and other resources necessary to live through the process of consuming other organisms or organic matter in their environment. This can include plants obtaining energy from the sun through photosynthesis or animals obtaining energy by consuming plants or other animals.


Why is it better for humans to obtain their energy from plants rather than animals?

It is more efficient for people to eat plants instead of animals because plants (generally) take less time to grow and less space. Also, plants offer up the most energy to be gained since they are the base of the energy period and receive their energy directly from the sun; this also means that they are the group with the least amount of energy lost in heat.


How do plants and animals depend on each other?

Plants convert carbon dioxide given off by animals into oxygen. This process helps both plants and animals to survive. some animals llike deer need plants for food. Plants depend on animals for pollination and dispersal of seeds. Many animals just eat them but some use them as their shelter and and some to escape from predators. Plants depend on animals for enery as when an animal dies plants uses its body's nutrients.


Why do animals need plants and why do plants need animals?

animals need plants because animals like deer depend on plants like grass(to eat). and plants need animals because if the animals did not eat the plants then the plants would become an invasive species. and then it would be hard to take back, or exterminate the plant.

Can anmals create the energy they need to live?

No. Neither can plants, for that matter. Animals get the energy they need from plants, or from other animals, which they eat. Plants get their energy from the sunlight.


Why do plants and animals need to release energy from food?

So they can live


Why animals eat plants?

Plants are producers they trap sunlight and make it into sugars. Only plants can do this and therefore animals need to eat plants as food to get the energy that plants have made to live.

Why do plants need energy from animals?

They need Co2 from animals. Which is why we need them, for oxygen.


Can plants live without man and animals without plants?

No, because man and animals produce carbon dioxide and plants needs carbon dioxide.


Why do animal eat food?

to surviveAnimals have to eat food to live. You get energy from food for your cells to keep active and working well and healthy. Different animals eat different things for their own body.


Why do plants and animals need different things?

Plants and animals need different things because they have different needs. Plants need sunlight because they make their own food and animals need plants.


What is the initial energy source for desert animals?

The energy source is the sun. Plants use solar energy to produce the foods they need for growth. Animals feed on the plants or feed on animals that eat plants.


Why is it not true that plants can live without animals but animals cant live without animals?

Because plants don't have a need for animals, but animals need company and a mate so that they can continue and make their species last.


Why do plants and animals need energy?

Plants and animals need energy to carry out essential life processes like growth, reproduction, movement, and maintaining homeostasis. This energy comes from breaking down nutrients in food through processes like photosynthesis in plants and cellular respiration in animals.


Is aerobic respiration in plants or animals?

Both, all living things under go respiration as they all need energy to live
