Plants
provide food and shelter for animals, and as they photosynthesize, regulate the
levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
As food producers, plants are eaten by herbivores, which in turn become food
for the omnivores and carnivores. Plants are also the homes of many animals,
small and big. Plants provide shelter from predators and harsh factors of the
environment, like the hot sun, cold snow and torrential rain. When plants
photosynthesize, they take in carbon dioxide and give out the fresh oxygen that
all the animals need for respiration. Plants are crucial for the health of all
animals.
On the other hand, plants depend on animals for nutrients, pollination and seed
dispersal, and as the animals consume plants, they regulate the numbers of
different species of plants. While plants provide oxygen for the animals as
they photosynthesize, animals respire and give out carbon dioxide for plants to
make food with. It is an interdependent relationship here. This is not to say
that plants do not respire themselves. They do, it is just that the amount of
carbon dioxide they give out is not enough for the plants to make enough food with.
As such, plants need animals.
Also, when animals die, they decompose and become natural fertilizers for
plants. Being pretty much immobile, plants also depend on animals to pollinate
them for reproduction. And when the fertilized plants eventually produce seeds
encased in fruits, animals eat them or carry them along on their fur,
dispersing the seeds far and wide, ensuring the continuity of the plant
species.
Animals
depend on plants for carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Also because some
animals need plants for food. Plants depend on animals for seed dispersal and
pollination.
Many animals depend on plants. Most animals just eat them, but some animals
will you plants as shelter, to hide from predators, and many other reasons.
and plants depend on animals for energy. when an animal dies it provides
nutrients for the plants to feed off of.
Ways animals and plants depend on each other is the circle of life. Plants do the Photosynthesis if they don't they die. If plants die , herbavors die of hunger. Then meat eaters die of hunger.
Plants depend on animals to die ito the earth and create fertilizer and plants depend on animals to spread pollen and make even more plants. For example, bees. With pollenation.
