Animals need water in order for their bodies and brains to function
properly because without water they will become dehydrated,
malnourished and will ultimately not survive. Most animals actually
gain the majority of their water from the food they eat, rather than
consuming water by itself.
Plants need water, just like all living things, to grow and stay alive. They
use water directly when they capture the light energy of the sun and
transform it into energy. Plants are the foundation of all food chains so
animals and humans rely heavily on plants for their survival.
Examples of living things are elephants, zebras, cows, sheep, fir trees,
oak trees, sharks, whales, otters, rubber trees, monkeys and humans.
All living things are broadly classified into plants and animals.
There, radiant energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide from air, and water
and nutrients absorbed by the roots are combined to make glucose
(sugar). Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis and is used by most
living things (including plants) to carry on respiration.
What things plants need to survive?
Animals need food, water, shelter, and space to survive. Herbivores can
live only where plant food is available. Carnivores can live only where
they can catch their food. Omnivores can live in many places because
they eat both plants and animals
Plants provide shelter for animals and they make oxygen for the
animals to live. When animals die they decompose and become natural
fertilizer plants. Plants depend on animals for nutrients, pollination and
seed dispersal. Plants are also useful for animal home because many
animals live around plants
