This is because chlorophyll in the plants allow them to absorb the suns energy and turn it into sugar through a process called photosynthesis. Animals do not contain chlorophyll within their bodies therefore they are not able to produce these sugars.

What activities can be performed by animals which cannot be done by plants and vice versa?

Animals can move independently, consume food, and feel emotions, which plants cannot do. Plants, on the other hand, can perform photosynthesis to make their own food, store energy in the form of starch, and reproduce through seeds or spores, which animals cannot do.


What organism cannot make his own food called?

An organism that cannot make its own food is called a heterotroph. Heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms, either plants or animals, for energy and nutrients. This group includes animals, fungi, and many bacteria. In contrast, organisms that can produce their own food, such as plants, are known as autotrophs.


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.


Are living conditions for plants and animals similar?

no, because plants make their own food where animals depend on others . animals can move freely but plants cannot move freely.


How are animals and plants different?

Plants use chlorophyll (it's what makes all plants green) to take the energy of sunlight and use it as a source of energy. There are other differences, but the above is the most important.

Animals that cannot make their own food and must eat other animals or plants to obtain energy are known as heterotrophs. These organisms are a part of food chains, where each member feeds on the organism below it in the chain to acquire energy.

Why can plant perform photosynthesis but animals cannot?

Plants contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll, which allows them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy. Animals do not have chloroplasts and lack the necessary cellular machinery to carry out photosynthesis. Instead, animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms.
