Sea snails are not able to directly convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis like plants or some other organisms. Instead, they rely on obtaining energy indirectly by consuming other organisms or detritus in their environment. Some types of sea snails are herbivores and consume algae or other plant materials that have produced energy through photosynthesis, while others are carnivorous and feed on small animals or other snails. The energy they acquire is in the form of chemical energy from the nutrients in their diet, rather than directly derived from the sun.
