When fish are given food, their bodies break it down to extract nutrients and energy for vital processes like growth, movement, and wound healing. Plants get their energy from sunlight while animals obtain energy by eating food, which provides necessary nutrients like fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Any food remnants that the body cannot use are expelled as feces.
