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.
What else can I help you with?
Why will there be a shortage of food if plants and animals become extinct?
If all animals go extinct there will be no need for food!
Why do animals depend on plants?
Animals depend on plants for food, as they provide essential nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Additionally, plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, which animals need to breathe. Some animals also rely on plants for shelter and nesting materials.
Is slug a insect?
Yes! All plants and animals are in the food chain, because all plants and animals eat and are eaten.
Names of animals that are dependent on plants for their food?
all herbivores like cows, goats, sheep, elephants depend on plants for their food. if we consider a food pyramid, then we can infer that even a decomposer is indirectly dependant on the primary producers- plants
What will happen if there is an increase in number of animals on earth?
affect the community
What will happen when the plants and animals are destroyed?
we all die! because they will be no food, it is in the food chain!it kindof depends if animals die first well we wont die automaticle,because we have plants to eat.BUT IFALL PLANTS DIE WE WILL ALL DIE WITHIN 2 MONTHS
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.
Why will there be a shortage of food if plants and animals become extinct?
If all animals go extinct there will be no need for food!
Could carnivores live if all plants became extinctWhy or Why not?
all animals depends upon plants directly or indirectly for food and oxygen <><><> Above is correct. Carnivores eat other animals- which eat plants. No plants, no food animals, no carnivores. No plants, no oxygen, no carnivores.
In which way do all animals need plants need for survival?
All animals need plants for survival because plants make food and oxygen. we all need oxygen to breathe and the plants I'm sure you know take the carbon dioxide in the air and make it into oxygen. and as for food some animals eat leaves and plants also make food like berries that we and animals eat too. :)
Who needs more food plants or animals?
Both plants and animals have varying nutritional needs. Plants require nutrients like water, sunlight, and soil minerals to grow, while animals need a balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals to thrive. Each is essential in its own way within the food chain.
Are all animals directly or indirectly independent for there food?
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".
How soil erosion affect peoples lives?
what I think is all the plants die because there are no more nutrients and soil and the animals have no food then the people have no food because all the food we get is from animals,well not all of them cuz some come from plants
What is different about animals and plants?
Simply the only difference is that plants have green leaves that can make there own food. Animals and plants all move, grow and reproduce
Do many living things get food from other living things?
Green plants make food from sunlight. All animals get their food by eating plants (living things) or animals (also living things)
Where does the energy in food from?
Energy in food comes from the sun. The sun is the source of energy in all food, because at some level in the food chain animals rely on animals that eat plants and plants derive their energy from the sun.
How is plant different from an animal with regard to obtaining food?
Depends on which animal and which plant you are comparing. All animals actually eat/consume their food. Plants like the Venus Fly Trap do that to. But, most plants use photosynthisis and absorb water.
