Plants are producers, animals are consumers. plants produce both food and oxygen needed by animals

Explanation:

Green plants are able to synthesize food for all the heterotrophic organisms. The chlorophylls capture light energy and convert into chemical energy. This chemical energy is able to sustain the life of animals and other heterotrophs on the earth. Thank you

In the process of synthesizing food plants also produce Oxygen. Oxygen is necessary for the process of cellular respiration which is used to make the ATP used for energy. Without Oxygen only fermentation is possible for the production of energy.

Plants produce both the food that animals need and the Oxygen needed to "burn" the food to obtain energy.
