(N/A) Plants are stationary organisms and do not move from one place to another.
In a large plant body,a significant proportion of cells are dead,such as those found in sclerenchyma tissue,which provide structural support without requiring metabolic maintenance.
In contrast,animals are mobile and possess a higher proportion of living,metabolically active cells that require constant energy for movement,physiological processes,and maintaining body temperature.
Therefore,plants have lower energy requirements compared to animals.
