Photosynthesis vs. Heterotrophy: How Plants and Animals Obtain Energy
Plant cells make their own food through
photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Animals, on the other hand,
take in food by eating other organisms. This can include plants, other animals, or even fungi.
Here's a breakdown:
* Plants: They are autotrophs, meaning they can produce their own food.
* Animals: They are heterotrophs, meaning they must consume other organisms to obtain energy.
