Most animal needs light to be able to search for their foods and some other important things they need to survive.it is not every animals that needs light,there are some animals that can survive even without light;for example, a BAT a bat does not need light to survive and a cat also needs not too much light to survive.these two animals can see at night so they dont need light. but generally all animals need light to survive.

Explain why animals food and energy can be traced back to plants and the sun?
Plants need the energy from the sun to grow. The small animals, such as rabbits, eat these plants to grow. Meat eaters such as hawks, prey on these rabitts, therefore connects hawks to the sun. Because the hawks eat the rabbits, who eat plants, who use the sun... the hawks are inderrectly dependent on the sun's enegy. Even humans are in need of the sun, as vegetariands eat plants, and omnivors eat cows, who eat plants. Therfore, every living being on this plant is dependent on the suns energy in one way or another.
Does your body need plants for energy why and why not?
Yes, because plants are able to capture light energy from the sun and change it into food through a process called photosynthesis. The food that plants make supplies them with energy and also becomes a source of energy for the organisms that eat the plants. (We eat plants.) Without plants and other producers, consumers would not be able to live.
What are 3 facts about heat?
1. It is a form of energy, 2. Both plants and animals (us included) need it to live, 3. It provides us with food sources because it allows plants and animals to grow.
Where do people get energy?
Well some say food some say the sun.. When really its both! The sun gives off light which plants take in through a process called photosynthesis. Because of that photosynthesis the plants can grow! The people and animals eat the plants and get energy. Remember when you hungry, then have something to eat? All of a sudden you feel way better? thats because you got energy from what ever you ate.
Is light a renewable resource of energy?
Light IS energy; it is not a SOURCE of energy. You can convert one form of energy into another, if you need to.
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.
Why do humans need a digestive systembut not in plants?
Plants have chlorophyll that absorbs light in energy. We don't have that chlorophyll. Also plants Producers. Animals are consumers.
Why do plants need energy from animals?
They need Co2 from animals. Which is why we need them, for oxygen.
Do animals need light for the same reason as plants?
No. Most plants need light for photosynthesis to take place, whereas animals only need light for ther sight.
Why is light is so important?
Plants need light to make food, we need light to see, and without plants animals wouldn't eat, without animals and plants we would die.
Why do plants and animals need energy?
Everything living needs energy. Plants and animals need energy to carry out the daily activities of living. It takes energy to get more energy. Every bodily function requires energy.
What is the initial energy source for desert animals?
The energy source is the sun. Plants use solar energy to produce the foods they need for growth. Animals feed on the plants or feed on animals that eat plants.
How does the amount of light affect how plants grow?
Plants are autotrophs, they need light energy to prepare chemical energy and this is called photosythesis...plants need sunlight for its growth and development.
Why do we need light?
for vitaman D and because we need to eat plants and plants need the light.
Why is photolysis important?
Photolysis is important because it is a chemical decomposition process caused by radiant energy or light. It is essential to plants using photosynthesis to survive and the animals that need to eat those plants for energy to survive.
Where does a firefly get the energy to light up?
Animals get all the energy they need from the food they eat.
Why do animals and plants need heat?
Animals and plants need heat because heat not only keeps them warm but gives them energy. Particularly plants. Many animals and plants don't need heat. But actually can die if they receive any.
