Question

Plants have low energy needs as compared to animals. Explain in just 2 lines.

Answer 1

 Plants do not need to move from one place to another. Movements in a plant are usually at the cellular level and hence a far less amount of energy is required by plants. Animals, on the other hand, need to move from one place to another; in search of food. So, the energy need of animals is pretty higher than of plants.

Answer 2

Sol: Plants being sessile stay at one place and lack the basic process of locomotion while animals move from one place to another in search of food, shelter and mates. The physical activity performed by the plants is also less when compared to animals.
