Write the difference between nutrition in plants and animals.

Plants and animals have a completely different mode of nutrition. Plants are autotrophic organisms that are capable of making their own food by performing photosynthesis using 2 raw materials (water + CO₂).

They need light energy to make their own food. Plants do not depend on any organism to obtain nutrition. On the other hand, animals are heterotrophic organisms that depend on other organisms (plants and other animals) to fulfill their nutrition requirements. They cannot make their own food.
