Best Answer

All plants generally carry out photosynthesis as the main source of energy and also they absorb minerals and nutrients from soil.

Animals that are herbivores feed on vegetation and such where carnivores and omnivores eat other animals as well

Producers (most plants): carry out photosynthesis(sunlight-water, oxygen- produce carbon dioxide and sugar)

Consumers (most animals): eat other organisms (living things; this can include eating plants and other producers)
