Question

discuss the dependence of plants on animals

Answer 1

Plants are producers — they take energy from the sun, nutrients from the ground, and water to grow and produce their flowers, seeds, and berries. They also release oxygen, which allanimals, including humans, need to survive. Animals are consumers and they all depend on plants for survival.

Answer 2

Here, plants consume decayed material from the soil for their nourishment and are consumed by plant-eating animals for their survival. The carnivores then consume the lower animals of the food chain for their nutrition and survival. When living organisms perish, they will decompose and form a part of the soil, which can again be consumed by plants. The cycle continues to exist in this way.
