Question

how do plant and animal nutrition differ?

Answer 1

plant nutrition:it is a study of chemical elements and compound necessary for plant growth, plant metabolism and their external supply

animal nutrition: animal nutrition focuses on the dietary needs of animals, primarily those in agriculture and food production.

Answer 2

Animals like humans require organic substance to feed themselves. A human may eat either meat or vegetables to sustain his bodily needs. Both of these are organic.

However, plants require minerals, water and light in order to grow. Put a plant without light and it will slowly die. Same goes for water or essential needed minerals. Plants will convert light and water into organic matter in a process known as photosynthesis. Such organic substance can now be eaten by animals in order to maintain their physiology, thus the importance of plants in our ecosystem.
