What is the interrelationships between plants and animals?

Plants and animals have a mutualistic relationship where plants provide oxygen, food, and habitat for animals, while animals help plants reproduce through pollination, spread seeds, and provide nutrients through their waste. Additionally, animals may also help control plant populations by grazing or feeding on them.


How do animals use plants?

Animals use plants for food, shelter, and nesting materials. They may also use plants for camouflage, attracting mates, or as a source of medicinal properties. Additionally, some animals rely on specific plants for their survival and reproduction.


Why do animals need plants and why do plants need animals?

animals need plants because animals like deer depend on plants like grass(to eat). and plants need animals because if the animals did not eat the plants then the plants would become an invasive species. and then it would be hard to take back, or exterminate the plant.


What is dependence of plants on animals?

If you look at food cycles and webs, it always starts with a plant. the herbivores (plant eating animals) and the omnivores( eats both meat and plants) feed on these. the omnivores and carnivores (meat eating animals) eat the herbivores and other omnivores. plants also convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen so animals can breathe. So, to cut a long story short, if we didn't have plants, nothing would be able to survive.


Is it possible for us to survive without plants and animals.?

We eat plants and animals. The animals we eat have to eat plants. So, it is safe to say that without them we would starve.In the food chain - plants are at the very bottom of the hierarchy. Plants are believed to feed from the nutrients found in the biological matter (humus) in soil. Animals eat the plants, and so consume the stored nutrients.Since we are animals - some people believe we can simply consume only the plants and live healthy lives. People doing this are called Vegans. Other people believe that we do not need to eat animal flesh (meat) but do require certain elements of our diet from animals, such as eggs from chickens or milk from cows. These people are named Vegetarians.In the animal kingdom, species that eat only plants are called herbivores. Animals that eat only meat of other animals are called carnivores. Animals that eat both plants and meat are called omnivores.
