They must be fed like in the wild so that the animal can stimulate its mental and physical muscles in ways it would use in the wild. It also helps to keep the animal active so it does not become overweight.

The main difference between zoo animals and forest animals has a lot to do with how they are kept. Zoo animals are domesticated and learn to depend on others for food and the basic needs they encounter. forest animals depend on their instincts and their surroundings for their necessities.
It is the start of many different food webs ending up to many different animals
a food web shows what animals eat others. a energy pyramid shows all animals that eat the same thing.
There caretakers feed them.
animals would die easier in the wild because they do not have medical care like they do in captivity and if the animal is a predator and they become permanently injured, they cannot hunt to get food, whereas in captivity they are given food and do not have to hunt.
this really can't be answered as a general question because the lifespan of different animals varies very drastically. As a general rule animals tend to live a couple of years longer in captivity because there are vaccinations and food is plentiful.
It's common for animals to live longer in captivity. In captivity they are safe from predators, there are veterinarians if they get sick or injured, and they Always have food.

It really depends on what animal you are reffering to. Animals in captivity can live twice as long as animals in the wild. Some animals can live up to the same age in any. There are more dangers to animals in the wild, such as predetors, poachers and lack of food/water. Animals bred in captivity have no real dangers so they would be considered to live longer.
Different animals show different ways of getting/eating their food.
