In bio-organic molecules carbon atoms may cover the full range of reductive to oxidative states from -4 (in CH4) via zero (in elemental carbon) to +4 (in CO2).

What organisms release energy by breaking down food?
carbon dioxide
Why is there no chloroplasts in animal cells?
Animals are chemoheterotrophic organisms. They obtain energy and carbon through other organisms.
What do all multicellular organisms need to get energy?
carbon dioxide or oxygen
How do organisms use carbon?
They use energy for everything.Everything is energy for exam.food,water,wood,this computer,even us.
How does photosynthesis beniffit heterotrophs?
By providing an energy source for them. The majority of heterotrophic organisms get their energy by eating photosynthetic organisms or indirectly, by eating things which themselves eat photosynthetic organisms.
What organisms release energy by breaking down food?
carbon dioxide
Where does energy come from that allows you to move?
You move as a result of stored chemical energy, basically sugars. The sugars breakdown to water and carbon dioxide and release electrical energy that enervates muscles, that move you.

When do atoms release energy?
They release energy, which comes out from co2/carbon dioxide. Then they also release a form of gas, which i do not have a name for right now, but yes they do release energy, and c02 which is carbon dioxide.
What obtains carbon and energy from the remain products or wastes of organisms?
producer
What do all multicellular organisms need to get energy?
carbon dioxide or oxygen

By process do all organisms release energy stored in the bonds of glucose?
Glycolysis is the process that all organisms release energy stored in the bonds of glucose.
Why is a temperate rain forest an open system?
An open system is one which allows the exchange of matter and energy between the system and its surroundings. A forest (or any other kind of habitat) allows energy in (as sunlight) and energy out (ultimately as heat released by respiration). It also allows matter in (living organisms, water, carbon dioxide etc) and out. So all habitats are ultimately open systems.
How does photosynthesis beniffit heterotrophs?
By providing an energy source for them. The majority of heterotrophic organisms get their energy by eating photosynthetic organisms or indirectly, by eating things which themselves eat photosynthetic organisms.
What process do all organisms release energy stored in the bonds of?
Cellular respiration is the process by which all organisms release energy stored in the bonds of glucose.
What is a prokaryote that obtains both energy and carbon as it decompses dead organisms?
Prokaryotes that obtain energy and carbon as they decompose dead organisms are categorized as both heterotrophs and chemotrophs. This means they obtain their energy from more complex organic substances, and that they gain energy from electron donors.
