Reika [66]

Answer:

Most plants are auto trophic able to use sunlight as their primary source of energy,in a process called photosynthesis.This process enables them to turn carbon dioxide from the air into food,The carbon and oxygen which they need in order to build up their bodies ultimately comes from this carbon dioxide.

All animals are heterotrophs, which means that they cannot make their own food as plants do. Rather, animals must obtain the energy, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and minerals they need by consuming other living things. Animals are also animate, which means that they are capable of movement.
