When organisms began using photosynthesis what gas was added to the atmosphere as a result?
Oxygen is one of the products of photosynthesis and is the gas that rose in abundance in the atmosphere due to the process of photosynthesis.
Is energy due to motion called palatial energy?
Energy due to motion is called kinetic energy.
Why is a plant cell able to perform photosynthesis?
Due to the presence of chloroplasts in it.
What happens to ordinary not C4 or CAM when stomata close?
Blah
Can photosynthesis turn plants green?
No, photosynthesis does not turn plants green. Photosynthesis uses light to create glucose and oxygen with carbon dioxide and water. Plants are green due to the chlorophyll found inside them. It is the chlorophyll that makes photosynthesis possible.
Is a weed a producer?
Weed, like most plants, do produce energy by photosynthesis. However, it is generally not eaten by animals due to its scent.
How do animals capture energy from the sun?
Two ways. Eating plants that access the energy of sunlight directly. or, Eating the animals that eat the plants, or eating the animals that eat the animals that eat the plants. All animals are heterotrophs. They can not synthesize their own food.
Why is sun needed in maintaining ecosystems?
First answer deleted by RikkiTsunami due to unhelpful and innapropriate content The sun is needed to provide energy. It is the center of a cold blooded animals existence, and it's energy plays a key role in photosynthesis
How is the energy of the sun passed on to animals?
photosyntices Energy from the sun is transferred from plants to animals by the animal consuming the plant.
Why Animals can't make food from water?
Plants make sugar (food) using water and atmospheric carbon dioxide in a chemical reaction powered by sunlight. This process, called photosynthesis, produces a very small amount of energy, in the form of ATP, which allows the plant to carry on its life functions. Animals, whose energy requirements are much greater than plants due primarily to their mobility, cannot derive sufficient energy from photosynthesis to survive. The one known exception to this is a species of sea cucumber that is known to synthesize chlorophyl - the active chemical in photosynthesis - and thus it does not need to eat in the conventional sense.
Do plants cells or animal cells carry out cellular respiration?
Yes. Plants and animals need energy. Energy must therefore be made in the cells.No, only animal cells carry on cellular respiration.animal cells carryon cellular respiration. plant cells carry out photosynthesis which is the opposite of respiration.
How did the plants and animals get there energy when fossil fuels were made?
Due to heavy pressure and temperature of catastrophic upheavals
Is plant a chemical factory?
A plant can be called a chemical factory due to photosynthesis. The chemical factory of the plant uses sunlight to produce energy that is stored in sugars.
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
Do producers take in energy from nitrogen?
Yes, producers do take in energy from nitrogen. This occurs due to the specific nitrogen cycle that allows for continuous flow of nitrogen through the biosphere which is a result of nitrogen fixation processes.
Is kinetic energy is the energy an object has to due to its motion?
kinetic energy-energy in motion object that change from being at rest
Heterotrophs usually consume autotrophs?
As autotrophic animals are producing their food by themselves using light energy(solar energy) due to presence of pigments chlorophyll ,so they are independent while hetrotrophic animals doesn't have chlorophyll and obtain their nutrition from autotrophic or animals(they are dependent).therefore,
