When an organism needs fuel, its cells can use oxygen to break apart food molecules. The release of energy in plants and animals from food is called respiration (res*puh*RAY*shuhn). In respiration, which occurs in plants and animals, sugars and oxygen join to produce water, carbon dioxide, and energy.

∙ 13y agothe energy stored in the producer then gets passed to the consumer, wich can either use that energy or store it when another consumer eats the first consmer it then gets the stored energy inside it.

Plant sugars can be matabolised by the human gut/ digestive system and their energy is therefore then transferred to the humans own system, some as fat some as the fuel which powers the brain and muscles. This is why tennis player's eat bananas.

How is energy stored in plant and animal fuels?
In humans and animals, most glycogen is stored as granules. when the body needs energy, it breaks down the glycogen granules into energy.
When does free energy become availabe to organisms?
Free energy will become available to organisms when energy that is stored in one form gets converted to another form. The happens as a result of chemical reactions.
What is an animal morgue?
A morgue is a place where dead bodies are stored. An animal morgue is a place where dead animals are stored.
How is biomass stored for later use?
Biomass can be stored in the form of wood chips. It is normally dried, and then later used in a boiler for energy.
What is animal body fat that is used for stored energy and insulation?
Fats provide animals with insulation by creating a fatty layer in their bodies to help them survive. The fat acts as an insulator which stops internal body heat from escaping.
What happens to the energy that is not used by the plants?
It is stored as glycogen.
What happens to the solar energy absorbed by plants during photosyntesis?
Stored as chemical energy in glucose
When a large animal eats a plant eater does it receive energy?
it gets oxygen originally stored in plants got it from meh teacher she tot us this
What happens to glucose produced to plants?
Plants use cellular respiration to harvest the energy stored in the molecular bonds of glucose
Where is energy stored in a molecule?
The nucleusAdenosine Triphosphate, often abbreviated ATP, is the molecule, created by cell respiration in the mitochondria of animal cells and photosynthesis in the chloroplasts of plants, in which energy is stored.
Why energy stored in green plants is classified as potential energy?
The energy stored in plants is classified as potential energy because they convert light energy into chemical potential energy stored in glucose.
What happens to sugars that aren't used by trees and plants for energy?
It is stored and used later for another time in the plant when energy is needed.
How do organisms utilized the stored energy from green plants?
how do organisms utilize the stored energy from green plants
How is light energy stored?
A way that light energy is stored in plants and water.
What happens to the energy not stored in the body?
what happened to the energy that is not stored in your body
What happens to the extra glucose produced by plants?
Plants use cellular respiration to harvest the energy stored in the molecular bonds of glucose
What is the type of energy that is stored in the form of food during photosynthesis?
when plants use photosynthesis plants use the light energy from the sun (and other ingrediants) and convert it into glucose which in some plants can be stored in fruits that we eat such as vegetables or if a animal eats said plant the animal breaks down the glucose and uses it as chemical energy to use throughout their daily activities or can be stored in things such as fat but to be used later on or can be harvested and eaten and broken down by other animals to be used; however, when this happens the predator dosn't get near as much energy so would have to eat more to get the same amount of energy due to the loss of energy but is still broken down the same way
