Detailed explanation-1: -Animals get their energy from the food they eat. Animals depend on other living things for food. Some animals eat plants while others eat other animals. This passing of energy from the sun to plants to animals to other animals is called a food chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -All nutritional energy comes from the Sun: plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize the Sun’s energy into plant energy, and then animals either feed on plants for that energy or they feed on the animals that have eaten that plant energy. The food chain begins with the Sun and then the energy flows to producers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The energy that animals use comes from the food that they eat. Some animals eat other animals and some animals eat plants. All of the energy that is consumed by animals comes from the sun.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals get their food from plants, either directly by eating plants or indirectly by eating animals that eat plants.
