Plant cells contain chlorophyll. Which is a pigment that captures sunlight allowing them to undergo photosynthesis. Animal cells do not contain this pigment and rely on respiration to obtain the energy required.

How do plants make land habitable for animals?
Plants make habitat for animals because with out plants animals wont have any thing to eat, both herbivores and carnivores. With out plants herbivores cant eat the plants or have enough oxygen and if there is no plants there is no rain and water. Tis also effects the carnivores since they wont have shelter or food since the cannot eat without any other animals. And they cant camouflage
Why can plants form photosynthesis but animals cant?
because animals don't have to make the own sugar and energy. plant have to it the only way they can survive. animals eat there food instead of make in themselves
Why are sunlight and temperature important?
it is important toPLANTS to make there food and for ANIMALS to eat the plants and without the temp. and sunlight the animals cant eat the plants because the plants will be dead without sunlight and the right temp.
Animals depend on plants to make?
Animals such as omnivores depend on plants 2 make food.
What process that plants and animals use sunlight to make food?
Green plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food from sunlight. Only green plants can make their own food. Other plants (like mushrooms) and animals do not make their own food, but get nutrition from green plants (or dead green plants). Animals do not make food from sunlight. If they could, they would not need to eat.
How do plants help support the life of the people?
People are "animals". Animals can not make their own food they have to eat other animals and or plants to survive. Plants can make their own food (from air, water and sunlight) - they are the basis of all food - without plants there could be no animals.
