Fats provide animals with insulation by creating a fatty layer in their bodies to help them survive. The fat acts as an insulator which stops internal body heat from escaping.

What is transfer of energy in animal life?

The transfer of energy in animal life, quite simply, is the figurative passing of "energy" with each progressing predator. For example, plants are the first stage of energy transfer. Anything that eats the plants, such as small animals and insects, will inherit the plant's energy that the animal has consumed. If a larger animal eats the animal or insect that ate the plants, the larger animal will inherit both the smaller animal and plant's energy. This cycle continues until the superior animal (maybe a vulture because they eat the carcasses of other animals) inherits the energy and then dies. The dead organisms nutrients and energy become part of the soil that will eventually become new plants. The cycle then begins again. Yeah, I'm not even sure if "energy" is a figurative term for nutrients, but it has yet to be disproved. It's not a physical substance so can't be calculated by mass. I'm out, J.L
