Detailed explanation-1: -Plants do not move, and plant bodies have a large proportion of dead cells in many tissues. As a result, plants have low energy needs, and can use relatively slow transport systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Their transport system is slow compared to that of other species as the majority of plant cells are dead and they don’t possess any pumping machinery such as the heart. In addition, they are non-motile organisms and thus do not have a high energy requirement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animals need more energy than plants as they eat complex food so more energy is needed to synthesise it whereas plants need simple food substances like water and carbon dioxide and in this less energy is needed for synthesis as compared to animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why do plants require energy even if they do not move? Plants may generate their own energy. Plants require water and sunlight to produce their own food energy, which is known as: (Photosynthesis). Because they are living entities, they require energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -They remain at one place throught the life and their most of the cell are dead . On the other hand animals needs more energy for a number of life process .
