Animals are all dependant on other organisms for food - either plants or other animals. This is because they are heterotrophs; they cannot produce their own nutrients.
Plants on the other hand, are autotrophs. They take in sunlight and convert it directly into sugars or "plant food".
What else can I help you with?
How do you protect the endangered animals?
yes we can live without disturbing the food chain. all animals are directly or indirectly dependent on the food chain
Does a lion obtain energy directly from the sun or indirectly?
All animals, including lions, obtain their energy from the sun indirectly.
Do all animals process food?
One of the defining characteristics that distinguishes animals from plants is that all animals feed either directly or indirectly on other living things.
Why do people dependent on the sun for energy?
For several reasons, but one of the most obvious is our food. We eat food to get energy; the food comes directly from plants, or indirectly through the animals we eat (which, in turn, eat plants, or other animals that eat plants).
Where do animals get their energy they need?
Their food, directly. As that food is either plants, or animals that eat plants, or animals that eat animals that eat plants, and so on, every animal indirectly gets its energy from the sun.Save for animals around thermal vents in the ocean depths, of course, those ultimately get it from warmth and minerals.
What organisms directly or indirectly provides food for the majority of organisms?
Algae
What organism directly or indirectly provides food for the majority of organisms?
Algae
Does protozoa provide food for pond animals?
Yes, eaten 'live' or consumed as part of the detritus on the pond floor, the protozoa do provide nutrition for pond animals directly or indirectly by nourishing plants that pond animals feed from.
What animal that does not depend on plants in the food chain?
Adult mayflies do not have mouths and therefore cannot eat.
What is the Complex interaction between plants and animals?
Plants and animals have a complex interaction where animals rely on plants for food, shelter, and oxygen, while plants rely on animals for pollination, seed dispersal, and symbiotic relationships. This interdependence is essential for the survival and balance of ecosystems.
How do you get nutrition from the sun?
The sun aids to human nutrition directly and indirectly. Directly, the sun's rays provide vitamin D and indirectly through ATP/photosynthesis It gives energy to plants that we eat and the animals that eat them (which we also eat.) You will get the most indirect nutrition from the the sun (energy) if you eat plants.
What food do we get from plants?
The vast majority (if not all) of our food comes from plants - either directly or indirectly. We eat grains, fruits and vegetables. And so do the animals that we eat. Right now, I cannot think of a food chain that includes humans that doesn't start with plants.
