What do animals and plants use their energy for?
animals and plant use energy for living
Why is food needed by animals?
All animals, yourself included, consume food to gain energy. Unlike plants, animals can't use sunlight to produce energy, however, by eating plants or other animals, an animal can convert the energy that organism had for its own use.
What do all living things use to get their energy?
For Plants : Photosynthesis For animals (herbivours) : Eating plants For animals (carnivours) : Eating other animals For animals (omnivours) : Eating plants and other animals
Do animal get energy from the sun?
Indirectly. All animals are heterotrophs, meaning they do not use the sun to convert inorganic molecules into sugars. Plants do this, and animals eat plants or other animals that have eaten plants.
Why doesn't all the sun's energy go into animals for biomass?
Plants use some of the energy they produce from photosynthesis for their own growth and reproduction, so all of the energy they are able to gain from the sun cannot be passed on to the animals that eat plants because they use some of it themselves.
What is the initial energy source for desert animals?
The energy source is the sun. Plants use solar energy to produce the foods they need for growth. Animals feed on the plants or feed on animals that eat plants.
Why can't animals make food from carbon dioxide water like plants do?
animals use the energy to move around and plants dont use the energy
Why do all animals depends on plants for food?
Look at it this way:-All life needs energy, to grow, move, reproduce etc.The source of this energy is the light from our local star (the Sun).Animals can not make thir own food or use of sunlight directly - they obtain the energy they need by eating plants or other animals that eat plants. Animals are consumers.Plants however can make direct use of sunlight, their green leaves trap the sunlight and store the energy of the sunlight as chemical energy in sugars which they produce. Plants are therefore called producers.Thus as you can see plants form the basis of the energy supply for all animals.
Can animals use photosynthesis to generate energy?
No, animals cannot use photosynthesis to generate energy. Photosynthesis is a process that only plants, algae, and some bacteria can perform to convert sunlight into energy. Animals obtain energy by consuming plants or other animals.
How do animals and humans obtain energy to keep them live?
The energy that fuels their life all comes from the Sun as sunlight. This is trapped by plants who use it to make sugars. All animals survive by eating plants (and thereby stealing the plants sugars/energy) or each other. This is the basis of what is known as the "food chain".
All organisms use ADP to store energy?
No. They use ATP as an energy source (ADP is left over after the energy is used). There is no storage there. Animals use fat to store energy, plants use starch.
Why is most life on earth dependent on solar energy to survive?
1. The radiation from the sun gives of energy that plants can use. Then the plants use the energy and give out oxygen for the animals to breathe from. Therefore the animals take in the oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide and the plants also use that as energy and the process repeats. Both plants and animals use this process in which help each other.
