Energy from the sun is eventually used by humans when we eat the carbohydrates that plants make when they use the sun's energy to synthesize carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide, or when we eat the flesh of animals who eat the carbohydrates from plants, or if we eat the flesh of animals who eat other animals who eat carbohydrates from plants.
What are the protective structures of plants?
Plants have several things that help to protect it. They have cell walls in their cells, which gives it rigidity and structure. They also have cellulose for strength.
What role do carbohydrates play in the survival of animals and plants?
Carbohydrates are used as an energy source for plants. They become crucial after a long hard winter where photosynthesis has not taken place. In this case, the plants rely on carbohydrate stores to provide the energy they need to produce new growth.
What is the stored form of carbohydrate in plants and animals respictively?
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
Which carbohydrates are found only in animals?
None. Carbohydrates are only found in plants.
Are carbohydrates stored similarly in both plants and animals?
No - they are stored in different forms. The main storage carbohydrate in plants is starch, and in animals it is glycogen.
