There are two basic groups of organisms (living things). Those that can produce their own carbohydrates (autotrophs) and those that need to consume carbohydrates (heterotrophs). Once the organism has carbohydrate available they break it down to sugars, which can be metabolised to produce ATP, the energy carrier of the cell. Depending on the sugar the first step may be glycolysis (if the sugars have six carbon atoms) or the pentose-phosphate pathway (if the sugars have five carbon atoms). The pentose-phosphate pathway feeds into glycolysis.
After glycolysis, if there is oxygen present, more energy molecules are produced during the Krebs Cycle (also called the tricarboxylic acid cycle) and electron transport chain.

What do animals change chemical energy in food into?
slime or kibble
Animals are able to run because they can change the chemical energy in food into what?
Energy of motion.....
How do animals get the energy they need?
People and animals both get their energy from producers. This is because producers are the only ones that can harness the suns energy.
Where do animals and people get energy to move around?
you and other animals get the energy from the food the consume . this starts from the producers wich are the plants then it goes to the animal the eats the producer and finally we eat who ever eated the producer theres where we get our energy
What do animals use energy for?
Animals use energy for movement, growth, reproduction and to repair. The energy is received from plants that animals eat for food.
What of energy is in the food before the animals change it?
Chemical energy.....

What is the release of energy in plants and animals from food?
The release of energy in plants and animals food is chemical energy.
How do animals is get energy explain the process?
animals get energy from the food they eat that gives them energy
Where do animals get their energy?
Animals receive energy from the foods they eat. The food gives animals energy just as food gives humans energy. Plants however, receive their engery in the form of solar energy...from the sun They get their energy from their food.
How might people change a food chain?
Kill off a species of animals.
How do tapeworm get energy?
Tapeworms basically get their energy from their host, gaining the nutrients people/animals get from food. They tend to make people lose weight due to the fact that they are leeching off all the nutrients you can get from food, which is why people/animals with tapeworms become thin, and lose weight.
Animals get their energy from?
Food
