Solar-Powered Slugs

The video explores why plants don't need to eat like animals, as they use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis. It introduces the emerald elysia, a sea slug that can also make food using light by consuming algae and retaining their chloroplasts. This unique ability allows the slug to survive without eating for up to a year. The video contrasts this with human digestion, which cannot utilize chloroplasts in the same way.
