Question

Plants have low energy needs as compared to animals. Explain.​

Answer 1

➜ Plants do not move. In a large plant body there are many dead cells like schlerenchyma which provide strength to the plant but do not perform any cellular function. As a result they requires less energy. Animals, on the other hand, need energy for different activities like movement or search or food. So, they require more energy.
