There are certain chemicals that the animal needs to 'recharge' its system. They also have not yet adapted to not relying on plants, like carnivores. Plants are probably abundant in many areas where animals that eat them live.

Describe how animals and plants are codependent?
Animals and plants are codependent upon on another for several reasons. Namely, animals depend on plants for nourishment while plants depend on animals for fertilizer.
Do plants require less energy than animals because they are much smaller than most animals?
Plants and animals have different metabolic processes, and plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. While plants may be smaller than some animals, their energy needs depend more on factors like growth rate, environmental conditions, and reproductive strategies rather than just size.
How do animals depend on the plants?
Animals depend on plants because plants are the primary producers of food. All the food available on earth is indirectly derived from plants. Plants are the only living beings that can convert inorganic molecules into important carbon compounds. It is these compounds that are further broken down inside the body of secondary and tertiary consumers to obtain energy. We term the sources of energy as food. Besides food, plants invariably purify the atmosphere by releasing oxygen- the indispensable component of respiration.
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.
What initial source of energy land-dwelling living creatures depend on?
Land-dwelling living creatures primarily depend on the sun as the initial source of energy through photosynthesis. Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is then consumed by animals for energy.
What plants depend on animals?
Animals only depend on plants if they are herbavores and if they do depend on plants they eat them to get the energy the plants make from sunlight using photosyntheses.
What depend on plants?
Animals only depend on plants if they are herbavores and if they do depend on plants they eat them to get the energy the plants make from sunlight using photosyntheses.
How animals depend on plants?
Animals depend on plants for food and the reason for this is so animals can get the energy they store from the sun into their own bodies. They also depend on plants because plant's are autotrophs ( make their own food) by using and storing the sun's energy, so because us animals are hetrotrophs ( can't make our own food :S) we depend on the energy the plants have stored from the sun light.
How does animals and plants depend on each other?
plants make energy and food from the sun with photosynthesis. Animals eat plants which give the consumers energy. We breathe oxygen
Living things depend on energy from?
All living things depend on energy from the sun. Even though animals get their energy from either plants or from animals that eat plants, those plants get their energy from the sun, so it all comes back to the sun.
Why animal and plants depend on each other?
Animals depend on plants for carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Also because some animals need plants for food. Plants depend on animals for seed dispersal and pollination. Many animals depend on plants. Most animals just eat them, but some animals will you plants as shelter, to hide from predators, and many other reasons. Plants also depend on animals for energy. When an animal dies it provides nutrients for the plants to feed off of.
Do meat eaters do not depend on plants for energy?
If I understand the question, meat eaters do depend on plants indirectly as the animals they eat in turn eat plants.
How animal depend plant?
Animals depend on plants for food and the reason for this is so animals can get the energy they store from the sun into their own bodies. They also depend on plants because plant's are autotrophs ( make their own food) by using and storing the sun's energy, so because us animals are hetrotrophs ( can't make our own food :S) we depend on the energy the plants have stored from the sun light.
Could animals suurvive without sun?
No, because the plants depend on the sun, the animals depend on the plants, we depend on both the animals and the plants. Der.
How are the animals dependent on plants for their energy needs?
Animals depend on plants for providing food and releasing oxygen into the air. Certain Plants also can change nitrogen into useful compounds and release that into the air. (plants such as clover, peanuts, beans.)
Do animals that eat other animals depend on plants?
Yes. Animals that eat other animals depend on herbivores for food, which in turn depend on plants.
Why do plants and animals depend on each others?
