Animal Nutrition
All living things feed in order to obtain energy for their daily activities and also to carry out their metabolic processes. Plants can manufacture their own food (i.e. make complex chemical compounds) from simple raw materials (CO2 and H2O) through the process of photosynthesis. Plants need minerals to make some of the complex compounds and these are obtained from the soil as mineral ions. Animals however cannot manufacture their own food, they depend directly or indirectly on plants. Nutrients that animals require are present in their diet.
