Some species of animals depend its' energy source from hydrothermal vent in deep sea thus not all animal depend on the sun for energy.

It is that life evolve and adapt to the available energy source in its' environment. Sun the the most robust and widely available on the globe so most species would evolve and adapt to use sun as energy source but not necessary all.

Can animals use photosynthetic pigments?

No, animals cannot use photosynthetic pigments to produce energy through photosynthesis like plants can. Animals obtain energy by consuming organic matter, either directly through eating plants or other animals.


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.


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.


Do plants require less energy than animals because they are much smaller than most animals?

Plants and animals have different metabolic processes, and plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. While plants may be smaller than some animals, their energy needs depend more on factors like growth rate, environmental conditions, and reproductive strategies rather than just size.


Describe how animals and plants are codependent?

Animals and plants are codependent upon on another for several reasons. Namely, animals depend on plants for nourishment while plants depend on animals for fertilizer.

How animals depend on plants?

Animals depend on plants for food and the reason for this is so animals can get the energy they store from the sun into their own bodies. They also depend on plants because plant's are autotrophs ( make their own food) by using and storing the sun's energy, so because us animals are hetrotrophs ( can't make our own food :S) we depend on the energy the plants have stored from the sun light.


How do animals depend on food?

Animals depend on food for energy, energy gives them the ability to move, grow, and reproduce.

What plants depend on animals?

Animals only depend on plants if they are herbavores and if they do depend on plants they eat them to get the energy the plants make from sunlight using photosyntheses.


Living things depend on energy from?

All living things depend on energy from the sun. Even though animals get their energy from either plants or from animals that eat plants, those plants get their energy from the sun, so it all comes back to the sun.


Do animals depend on plants for shelter pollination seed dispersal or sun light?

yes animals depend on plants for shelter. The plants depend on a variety of animals for pollination, seed dispersal. Sunlight is needed by both plants as well as animals.
