Can you explain how the ways in which plants and animals get their energy differ?

I learned this in a foreign language so I don't know the names of the things I write about.
So basically, what makes the plant green is what gathers sunlight and turns it into energy.
If you would get your relevant organs to accept it you could add this to your body, shave your head and have a green scalp :)
F.X.
The rare plants that aren't green can be gathering nutrition from rocks, then moss grows on these plants to use it's... green stuff to trade energy for nutrition
That's just SOME of the basics, not all and purely by memory.

∙ 8y agoThe difference between how plants and animals get their energy is that plants get their energy through the process of photosynthesis while animals get their energy from the respiration of foods taken in from the outside.

Does the function of nucleic acids differ from plants to animals?
No! They have similar function
The food plants make is what?
Photosynthesis
What do plants get from animals?
Carbon dioxide is the main thing plants get, but they also get nutrients through animal excrement and carcasses.it uses a fluid in its self called chloroplast this use of chloroplast is photo synthesis
Do humans need photosynthesis to survive explain your answer?
Indirectly, yes. We humans eat plants; plants grow and generate energy by photosynthesis, so we need it. Or, we humans eat animals, and the animals eat plants, which use photosynthesis. At some level, our life depends on plants.
What can plants do that animals can't?
plants can make there own food but animals cannot
Does your body get all its energy from sun . explain?
Yes - indirectly. We get energy from the food we eat, which comes from animals or plants; animals also get their energy from plants; and plants get the energy from sunlight.
How do animals and plants differ in the way that they get energy?
Animals eat meat or plants for energy and plants go through process called Photosynthesis which makes sugar for the plant to eat.
How do plants and animals differ in the way they carry out the life process of getting energy?
green tree
How do plant cells differ from animal cells when obtaining energy?
Plants create their own energy via photosynthesis. Animals eat to get energy
How do plants and animals get their energy in different ways-?
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, and animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.
How do plants and animals get their energy different ways?
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, and animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.
How plants and animals get their energy differ?
Plants go through a process called Photosynthesis which makes sugars for the plant. (food for them) And animals eat meat or plants and digest it to get energy. However, some plants that grow in the Southern United States actually eat Instects. Such as the venus fly trap.
How does energy from animals come originally from the sun?
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.
What is the release of energy in plants and animals from food?
The release of energy in plants and animals food is chemical energy.
Plants and animals get there energy from what?
plants: sunlight for photosynthesis animals: plants, other animals
What is the difference in which in animals and plants store energy?
What is the difference in which in animals and plants store energy?
Explain how energy is transferred into the environment?
Energy is transferred into the environment by the sun. The sun provides the base energy for all ecosystems in the world. Plants turn sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Then, animals eat the plants for energy, and other animals eat those animals and other animals eat THOSE animals and so forth. Another way to look at it is to say that energy is transferred into the environment whenever you burn fossil fuels.
