Animals need oxygen to carry out life processes. Plants need carbon dioxide. Some animals and plants can use either if they need to.
Plants and animals need energy to carry out essential life processes like growth, reproduction, movement, and maintaining homeostasis. This energy comes from breaking down nutrients in food through processes like photosynthesis in plants and cellular respiration in animals.
Yes because carbohydrates are forms of energy and plants need energy to conduct photosynthesis and other life processes.

Animals eat food and absorb the vitamins, nutrients and energy and produce waste from the materials the body does not need. The bodies of dead animals also decay and produce waste.
Cells need energy to perform processes in order to sustain life. In plants, energy from the sun is needed for photosynthesis, a process which allows the plant to create glucose for food. Animals then get their energy from plants and other animals and convert this energy into ATP energy for processes like cellular respiration and protein synthesis. All these processes require energy and work together to keep the organism alive.
Yes, metabolism is a characteristic of life. Metabolism refers to the chemical processes that occur within living organisms to maintain life, such as converting food into energy. It is essential for growth, reproduction, responding to the environment, and many other life processes.
Plants get energy by combining sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make glucose through photosynthesis. Animals get energy by consuming other organisms.
For the same reasons we do: to get energy, materials to build their bodies and other substances necessary for their life processes.
Animals need to eat other organisms to obtain energy because these organisms contain nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that animals can break down and convert into energy through the process of digestion. This energy is essential for various physiological processes like movement, growth, reproduction, and maintenance of body temperature.
