Explain why, plants have low energy needs as compared to animals.

Plants have low energy needs as compared to animals. It’s because plants do not move from one place to another. Plants show only tropic movements and movements are at the cellular level. But, in case of animals it is entirely different. Animals move from one place to another in search of food, prey, water, shelter, etc. The energy requirement is more in animals. Hence plants have low energy needs as compared to animals.
