The release of energy in plants and animals food is chemical energy.
In order to carry out vital activities, plants need to release energy from their foods.
oxygen
the plant needs oxygen to break down and release energy to move its food
yes
respiration
So they can live
The release of energy in plants and animals is called respiration.
Plants use energy from sunlight during the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (energy-rich food) and oxygen. This is how plants produce their own food and release oxygen as a byproduct.
Plants release energy from food through a process called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into energy in the form of ATP through a series of chemical reactions. This energy is then used by the plant to carry out various life processes necessary for growth and survival.
Green plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide in order to carry out photosynthesis, the process by which they convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. This glucose is then used by the plants as a source of energy to carry out various cellular processes.
Plants release energy from stored food through the process of cellular respiration. This involves breaking down glucose molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP, which is used for various cellular functions.
