∙ 12y agoplants get there energy from the sun this is called photosynthesis. Animals get it from eating other animal who are lower on the food chain.
e.g. a lettuce (which gets its energy from the sun) is eaten by the rabbit (which gets 10% of its energy) then that is eaten by the fox (giving it 10% of its energy).
is that okay?
hope it helped
