Show you chemically.
Plant:
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon dioxide and water plus energy from photons of light used to make glucose.
Animal:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O
Glucose " burned " to get energy.

What are the organelles that transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP?
In both plant and animal cells, mitochonria are responsible for energy transfer. They are the sites of the a metabolic process in which ATP is generated from extracting energy from sugars, fats, and other fuels.In plant cells only, chloroplasts are responsible for energy transfer; they are the sites of photosynthesis.
Where do cells transfer the energy from?
mitochondria
What is the energy producer for animal cells?
Energy is produced in animal cells by organelles called mitochondria.
Where tonoplast are found in plant cells or animal cells?
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, but not animal cells they are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis (the transfer of light and water into energy). I've never heard of a tonoplast before; but that's not to say they aren't out there. Hope this was relavent! :D
How are animal cells different from plant cells-?
Animal cells are different from plant cells in that the cell wall of animal cells is not made up of cellulose.
Do animal cells have mitochondria and chloroplast?
They need energy to live.Mitochondria give this energy.
Is it true that cells must transfer the energy in lipids to ATP before the cells can use the energy?
Yes
Do animal cells Cary out any of processes in different ways from plant cells?
They are basically are the same except that plant cells have chloroplasts, which trap sunlight for energy.
How is a animal cells different from an plant cell and bacterial cells?
These cells are different in many ways. In simple terms, bacterial cells differ from both plant and animal cells in that they do not have a nucleus (an organelle containing the genetic material (chromosomes/DNA) while both plant and animal cells do. One way that animal cells are different from plant cells is that the metabolic organelles (how they make energy) for animals are called mitochondria which convert chemicals into energy while plants use organelles called choloroplasts which use light to harvest energy.
Cells transfer energy from organic compounds to what in the aerobic respiration?
ATP energy
How are animal cells different from plants cells?
plant cells are in plants and animal cells are in animals
How are plants and animal cells different?
plants cells have chloroplast animal cells don't
