Answer: 1. A living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.
2. “Animals need a lot of energy, and moving at all doesn't really jive well with photosynthesis,” says Agapakis. “If you imagine a person who had to get all of their energy from the sun, they'd have to be very still. Then, they'd need a high surface area, with leafy protrusions.
3. 3 Incredible Photosynthetic Animals (So you can chose, and thers many more!)
Sea Slug - Elysia chlorotica. The first of these amazing photosynthetic animals is a sea slug, which effectively steals genes from the algae that makes up its diet.
Spotted Salamander - Ambystoma maculatum. Ironically, the spotted salamander is not a new species for researchers, and it has long been known that the animal's embryos share a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae. The color usually indicates the presence of chlorophyll, which is the light-absorbing green pigment that makes photosynthesis possible.

5. The Spotted Salamander is born with the ability to use photosynthesis, while the Sea slug develops it over time.
6. As larvae, spotted salamanders eat insects, small crustaceans, and other aquatic invertebrates. Adults have a sticky tongue to catch earthworms, snails, spiders, centipedes, and other invertebrates they find on the forest floor, while Sea Slugs eat plankton, algae, and jellyfish that are all prey of these animals. Some of these animals are herbivores eating algae and other plant life off rocks.
