Question

complete the sentence by filling in the correct word. all animals must other living things to get energy; some eat plants and some eat other an transform consume protect waste

Explanation:

The sentence is about how animals obtain energy. The word "consume" means to eat or take in. Animals need to eat (consume) other living things (like plants or other animals) to get energy. "Transform" means to change form, which doesn't fit the context of getting energy by eating. "Protect" means to keep safe, which is not relevant here. "Waste" means to use carelessly or throw away, also not relevant.

Answer:

consume
