Why do the animals depend upon the green plants for their food ?

Answer Posted / guest

Because the green plants have chlorophyll which makes the
plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water
from the earth. This water and carbon dioxide combine to
from compounds like sugar. Animals cannot produce sugar as
they ate having no chlorophyll. So they have to depend upon
the green plants for sugar and hence for food.
