The process through which animals obtain energy for use by the cell?
Unlike plants, who make their own food for energy with help from the sun, animals have to digest carbohydrates and such from external sources. The energy from the food is then turned into the more readily usable ATP by the mitochondria.
How does a cell make its energy which organelle performs this function?
It depends, if its an animal cell the mitochondrea makes energy, for plants its the chloroplasts. Animals break down energy and sugar from what they eat, plants get energy from sunlight and CO2.
How does a nerve cell make energy?
The part of the cell that produces energy varies between plants and animals. In plants, the energy producing part of the cell occurs in the chloroplast of the plant. In animals, the mitochondria produces the cells energy.
How do plants and animals store energy found in fossil fuels?
Plants and animals both store energy found in fossil fuels by going threw a system call cell fertilization thru out their life.
Why doesn't animal cell need chloroplast?
Animals are chemo heterotrophs.They obtain carbon and energy from other organisms.
Why do plants and animals belong to two different kingdoms?
The main difference is that the plant kingdom has cell walls, and the animal kingdom doesn't. Plants use photosynthesis to create energy from sunlight, while animals use metabolism to create energy from food.
How does food provide a source of enegry for living things?
Plants convert sunlight energy into chemical potential energy through the process of photosynthesis. The plant can then utilize this stored energy by breaking the bonds of the glucose through the process of cellular respiration, which takes place in the mitichondria of the cell. Animals can obtain this chemical potential energy when they consume plants or other animals. What they eat is broken down by digestion into the simple sugar glucose which is also used by the mitochondria at the cell level to release the stored energy in the form of ATP.
What processes do plants undergo to obtain and use energy?
The process that green plants go through to get energy is called photosynthesis. The mitochondria gets light energy from the Sun to make chemical energy, which the cell uses as energy.
Which organelle is not required for an animal cell to function properly?
The organelles that are not required for an animal cell to function properly are chloroplasts. Plants use these for photosynthesis to obtain food. Since animals are able to obtain their own food, they do not need them.
Can plants and animals contain a eukaryote cell?
Plants and animals are eukaryotes.
Why do plants have cell and animals do not?
Animals do have cells.
What is an important difference between a plant and an animal?
chlorophyl Plants take in nutrients by absorption from their environment, and animals take in nutrients by bringing food inside their bodies and digesting it internally. Many plants, but not all, produce food by photosynthesis (using chlorophyl). Animals also have no cell walls, and all plants have cell walls.
