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.
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.
What initial source of energy land-dwelling living creatures depend on?
Land-dwelling living creatures primarily depend on the sun as the initial source of energy through photosynthesis. Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is then consumed by animals for energy.
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.
How do animals use solar energy?
Animals use solar energy by:Eating vegetation that has used solar energy to grow (photosynthesis)Eating other animals that have eaten vegetation.Using the sun's warmth to survive. This is especially true of cold-blooded animals like reptiles.animals use energy from the sun for their life.
Plants and animals get there energy from what?
plants: sunlight for photosynthesis animals: plants, other animals
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.
Animals do not make their own food from energy in sunlight Explain why they still depend on the sun for energy?
Animals depend on the sun indirectly as they rely on consuming plants or other animals that have obtained energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. The sun is the ultimate source of energy that sustains the entire food chain and ecosystem.
How did plants and animals get their energy before coming fossil fuels?
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. Animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals. This natural process has been occurring for millions of years before the use of fossil fuels.
What is an animals insulating system?
Fur, sunlight, energy, and/or constant moving.
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.
Which animals can photosynthesize?
No animals can photosynthesize. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. Animals obtain energy through consuming plants or other animals.
Which animals photosynthesize?
No animals are capable of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. Animals obtain energy by consuming plants or other animals.
What supports living plants and animals?
Energy in the form of water, sunlight, and air.
