In animals and people, food and water. In plants, sunlight, water and minerals in the soil


Is soil composed of cells?

No, not soil itself, at least not living cells. However, if there is bacteria, fungus, tiny animals, or plants in the soil, then those things have cells. They are in the soil, but not a part of it.


Do plant cells have chloroplast and but animal cells don't?

Plant cells contain chloroplasts while animal cells don't. Chloroplasts in plants are used to capture the Sun's energy as molecules. Most animals get energy from the food they consume so they simply do not need chloroplasts, as opposed to plants, who mainly get nutrients from the soil and energy from the Sun.


What is the application of osmosis and difusion to plants and animals?

Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis and diffusion of water and gases is important for the inetercellular movement in plant and animal cells.


Why are water and soil considered potentially renewable energy resources?

Water and soil are considered potentially renewable energy resources because they are naturally replenished through the water cycle and soil formation processes. They can be used to generate renewable energy, such as hydropower from flowing water and bioenergy from organic matter in soil. With proper management and conservation efforts, water and soil can continue to provide energy for future generations.


How is water add to the watercycle by animals?

Animals drink water and it comes out the other end and into the soil. THere it is filtered into water.


How do onion root cells receive energy?

The answer is simple: This is a root! It is found in the soil, and it is respectively getting resourced from the soil! It gets water, minerals and dissolved substances from the ground it is in.


Cells make up plants and animals, but they do not make up air, soil, or water. Which part of cell theory does this statement best support?

Why water moves from the soil to the root hair cellexplain?

Water moves from the soil to the root hair cells through a process called osmosis, where water molecules move from an area of high water potential (soil) to an area of lower water potential (root hair cells). The presence of a concentration gradient between the soil and root cells and the selective permeability of the cell membrane facilitate this movement of water.


Do plants take in oxygen from soil?

The primary way plants use oxygen is through their root cells. In order for a plant to take up water and nutrients from the soil, it must continually grow new root hairs. The cells that make up these hairs are living cells that do not carry out photosynthesis. They are similar to the cells of animals in that they require oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as they burn carbohydrates to obtain the energy they need to function. This is why you can "drown" a house plant by watering it too much. If the soil gets too saturated with water, the plants root cells can't get enough oxygen from the air.


Animals that need little water can live in areas where the soil is?

the soil is very dry


How did the heat energy received by the cup of soil to the heat energy of received by the cup of water?

The cup of water will receive more heat energy compared to the cup of soil because water has a higher specific heat capacity than soil. This means water can absorb more heat for a given temperature change compared to soil.
