What stored energy in plants?
Batteries and plants store cell energy. Humans also store cell energy until it is needed. If there was no way to save energy all cells would be used up and the body, battery or plant would be dead.
What do plants store as oils?
All plants store oil such as olive oil in their seeds. The excess energy that is available is used by plants to make glycerol and fatty acids.
How is glucose used in an ecosystem?
Carbohydrates are used as an energy source for many animals and plants. Examples: potato makes starch to store energy and animals eat them to gain the energy they need. Also sugars, which are monomers, are used by the plants as energy source by photosynthesis. Second example would be that insects use a carbohydrate called chitin which is used to build their exoskeleton.
What is stored in sugars that plants need in order to carry out the processes of life?
Energy.
Why is starch a suitable for storing energy?
Starch can be broken down into glucose by an enzyme. Glucose is then used for respiration which provides energy.
What is used by plants to store energy?
Photosynthesis.
What alternative energy is used?
Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Hydrogen, Biofuels, Ionic energy

What can biofuels be used in?
Biofuels can be used in any sort of internal combustion engine, like cars, trucks and ocean ships. It can also be used to power any furnace for heating, and any electricity-generating power plants.
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.
How can CO2 be converted to renewable energy?
The only method presently available to recover CO2 to create a reusable energy source is through photosynthesis. This is process used by plants to take CO2 from the air to make cellulose (woad fibers) and sugars. These can serve as the basis of biofuels.
What are the basic uses of biofuels?
biofuels are derived from biomass and its environmental friendly. Basically it is used as additive or energy requirements in vehicles in the form of bioethanol and gasoline as it has less emmission. As biodiesel made from vegetable oil and animal fat can also be used as fuel for vehicles.
Which do you think lived first -- plants or animals. why do you think so?
No "thinking" required here: plants preceded animals by eons. The reason is energy. Plants store it; animals burn it up. The processes are called synthesis (photosynthesis, if the energy is in the form of light) and respiration. Stored energy has to be built up before it can be used. Animals get that energy from plants by eating them.
What is energy flow in the circle of life?
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one type of energy into another. All of our energy comes from the Sun. Plants store that energy in the 'food' they make, glucose, a type of sugar, which then gets packaged into larger molecules of starch. Animals eat plants and the energy in the plants is used by the animals which eat the plants to provide the fuel for all the chemical reactions in their body. Then other animals eat the animals which eat the plants and so on and so on. So the energy comes from the Sun, is stored (and used) by plants through photosynthesis, then by organisms which eat the plants and so on.
What eventually happens to energy from the sun which is captured by the plants in the wood?
it is used up by plants, or used for our solar-powered stuff (cars, caculators...etc)
What was the biofuel bill?
biofuel bill is the price of biofuels being used and the amount of energy source being taken up by the earths atmosphere
