How the animal adopted by plants? explain briefly?
Answers
Answer:
Some of these adaptations are behavioral, allowing them to act a certain way to avoid being seen by a predator. For example, sloths move very slowly through trees making them hard to spot. Their long, hairy bodies have algae growing on them to blend in with the trees.
Answer:
First, consider this. Any food is made of either meat or some plant with a couple exceptions that you cannot live on.
You are a sheep. What do you do? You chew grass or whatever food you can. You are a herbivore, meaning you only eat plants, not animals. So herbivores very obviously rely on plants for food. Without food, they would die.
Okay, so herbivores need plants, do omnivores or carnivores? Surely not, they can eat meat so lets take plants away. Now all the herbivores are dead. That’s okay, you can eat other animals but soon, they will all be dead because they are eating each other.
Now all the herbivores who supplied food to carnivores are dead. All the other animals that don’t need plants cannot eat the herbivores, they are dead, so they turn to other carnivores. But other animals are not sustainably renewable. They will reproduce but very slowly, not quick enough to feed themselves. Even if they can, all of the vitamins and minearls they needed to survive came from herbivores who ate plants high in such things. Very quickly they die out.
The only sustainably renewable food sources are plants. They only rely on other organisms to provide Carbon Dioxide. This brings us to the next part after food.
During the process of photosynthesis, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is taken in and Oxygen (O2) is execreted. All animals breathe in Oxygen which they need to produce energy for them to do things that keep them alive. Carbon Dioxide is execreted as waste. So it’s a loop. By cutting out plants, Oxygen is used up (albeit slowly but still being used) and nothing is pumping it back out for us. Eventually, it runs out and all animals die.
In summary
Plants provide food for animals, directly and indirectly, as well as essential vitamins and minerals. These are needed for the survival of animals.
Plants produce Oxygen which we animals need to do things to keep us alive, without, we die.
So there you have it. Animals nees plants just as much as plants need animals (but that’s a different story).
Animals are totally dependent on plants. First of all plants produce oxygen which is vital for life on earth. Then, for many animals plants are their basic food, or if plants don’t make up 100 % of their diet, plants are nevertheless essential in their food supply.
