Plants have chlorophyll and conduct photosynthesis, allowing them to convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis. Animals lack chlorophyll and cannot photosynthesize, relying on consuming other organisms or plant material for energy. This difference in energy production mechanisms is why plants can make their own food while animals cannot.
Plants can make their own food through a process called "Photosynthesis", which is the conversion of light into food for plants. They can do this because they have an organelle called a "chloroplast", and animal cells do not. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals.
They do have food. Sunlight, water, and the nutrients in the soil.

The food plants make is what?
Photosynthesis
One way plant and animals are different?
Plants are autotrophic, meaning they make their own food through photosynthesis, while animals are heterotrophic and must consume food for energy. Additionally, plants have cell walls made of cellulose, while animals do not have cell walls. Plants typically remain stationary, while animals are capable of movement.
Who needs more food plants or animals?
Both plants and animals have varying nutritional needs. Plants require nutrients like water, sunlight, and soil minerals to grow, while animals need a balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals to thrive. Each is essential in its own way within the food chain.
Why can plant perform photosynthesis but animals cannot?
Plants contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll, which allows them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy. Animals do not have chloroplasts and lack the necessary cellular machinery to carry out photosynthesis. Instead, animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms.
What process is used by plants to provide food for animals?
Plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Animals consume plants (or other animals that have consumed plants) to obtain energy from the glucose produced during photosynthesis. This process forms the base of the food chain.
What kind of plants that obtain their food from other plants and animals?
they are known as heterotrops the cant make food themselves they depend on other plants and animals example fungi,like mushroom
What are two major differences between the lives of plants an animals?
well plants make their own food and plants cant move
How are animals and plants different in getting their food?
probably because plants cant move to catch proper pray or cant fit a deer in its mouth if it even had one. the difference between them is that plants make their own food ( photosynthesis ), and animals have to get it, or find it
Organisms that cant make there own food?
be more specific but from what you asked it is everything alive exept plants such as animals
How do plants make land habitable for animals?
Plants make habitat for animals because with out plants animals wont have any thing to eat, both herbivores and carnivores. With out plants herbivores cant eat the plants or have enough oxygen and if there is no plants there is no rain and water. Tis also effects the carnivores since they wont have shelter or food since the cannot eat without any other animals. And they cant camouflage
Why can plants form photosynthesis but animals cant?
because animals don't have to make the own sugar and energy. plant have to it the only way they can survive. animals eat there food instead of make in themselves
The food plants make is what?
Photosynthesis
Animals depend on plants to make?
Animals such as omnivores depend on plants 2 make food.
What process that plants and animals use sunlight to make food?
Green plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food from sunlight. Only green plants can make their own food. Other plants (like mushrooms) and animals do not make their own food, but get nutrition from green plants (or dead green plants). Animals do not make food from sunlight. If they could, they would not need to eat.
How do plants help support the life of the people?
People are "animals". Animals can not make their own food they have to eat other animals and or plants to survive. Plants can make their own food (from air, water and sunlight) - they are the basis of all food - without plants there could be no animals.
Which plants can not make his own food?
-----ANIMALS-----
Are plants autotrophic or hetrotrophic?
plants which cant make their food are called heterotrophic plants
