Here's a breakdown:
* Energy: Plants convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. When animals eat plants, they obtain this stored energy. This energy is then passed on to other animals that eat those animals.
* Nutrients: Plants contain essential nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Animals need these nutrients for growth, development, and bodily functions.
