Why do animals constantly consume other organisms?
1. Animals store extra food they consume so they can hibernate.
2. Animals only receive a small amount of energy from other organisms.
3. Animals are constantly hungry.
4. Animals need to eat all the time for growth.
Animals only receive a fraction of the energy of the organisms they eat, and that fraction gets smaller higher up the food chain. For example, a rabbit gets more energy from grass than the fox gets from the rabbit.
