True:
- Plants perform chemical reactions that require energy. (Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are energy‑dependent processes.)
- Animals can receive their energy by consuming plants or other animals. (Animals are heterotrophs that get chemical energy from food.)
False:
- Animals can use energy from the sun to produce their own food. (Animals generally cannot photosynthesize; a few rare exceptions—e.g., some sea slugs that retain chloroplasts—do not change the general rule.)
- Plants receive their energy from water in the soil. (Plants get their energy from sunlight; water and soil nutrients are raw materials, not the primary energy source.)
