Why do all animals depends on plants for food?
Look at it this way:-All life needs energy, to grow, move, reproduce etc.The source of this energy is the light from our local star (the Sun).Animals can not make thir own food or use of sunlight directly - they obtain the energy they need by eating plants or other animals that eat plants. Animals are consumers.Plants however can make direct use of sunlight, their green leaves trap the sunlight and store the energy of the sunlight as chemical energy in sugars which they produce. Plants are therefore called producers.Thus as you can see plants form the basis of the energy supply for all animals.
Why are animals unable to make their food?
because animals do not have the same cells as plants that enable them use sunlight as a direct source of energy.
How do animals capture energy from the sun?
Two ways. Eating plants that access the energy of sunlight directly. or, Eating the animals that eat the plants, or eating the animals that eat the animals that eat the plants. All animals are heterotrophs. They can not synthesize their own food.
Are small animal animals and protist producers?
No. All animals are consumers, not producers.However, there are certain protists like dinoflagellates, diatoms and algae that are producers and make energy from sunlight.
Defend the following statement A lion gets its energy from the sun?
A lion does not get its energy directly from the Sun, but it does indirectly. Plants that grow in the sunlight are eaten by foraging animals, which are then eaten by the lion.
Plants and animals get there energy from what?
plants: sunlight for photosynthesis animals: plants, other animals
How do people get energy from sunlight?
People get their energy from sunlight indirectly by either eating plants or eating animals which ate plants. Plants get their energy from the sun.
Why is sunlight important to animals?
because if they had no sunlight they wouldn't have the energy they need to use respiration in cells
Can animals get energy from sunlight?
No but they stay healthy from the Vitamin D3
How can the energy used by many living things on Earth can be traced back to sunlight?
Plants need sunlight to produce sugars which they use for their nutrition. Then herbivore animals eat the plant to get energy and after that the carnivore animals eat the herbivore animals for the same reason. The energy of sunlight has traveled through plants, herbivores and carnivores, for example to humans who eat other animals.
How did plants and animals get their energy before coming fossil fuels?
Same way they get energy now. Plants get energy from sunlight via photosynthesis and animals get energy from eating plants and other animals.
What is an animals insulating system?
Fur, sunlight, energy, and/or constant moving.
Animals do not make their own food from energy in sunlight Explain why they still depend on the sun for energy?
Because what they eat requires sunlight to live, therefore without sunlight they'd have no food.
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.
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.
What supports living plants and animals?
Energy in the form of water, sunlight, and air.
Why cannot animals make food from carbon dioxide?
Animals have no source of energy to make food. Animals get energy from the food they eat. Plants have a way of capturing energy from sunlight which they then use to make carbohydrates
