Animals don’t need to absorb sunlight in order to live. Only plants have chloroplasts to absorb the rays from the sun which is required for them to live and grow
In the text it says “Most macromolecules are made from single subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. ... In the process, a water molecule is formed.” I hope this helped
