When animals eat green plants the stored what in the plants is transformed?
in energy
What do plants do with stored starch?
They use it for respiration to release energy.
What role does the sun play in making fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels wwwwwwwere once living plants and animals. If they were plants they got their energy from the sun, and if they were animals they got their energy from eating plants who got their energy from the sun, or from eating animals who ate animals who ate plants who got their energy from the sun. In other words the sun is the source of all energy. The sun´s energy is stored in living beings, in plants and the animals that eat the plants, and if conditions are right, that energy is then stored in the form of fossil fuels.
What is respiration for in the plants?
Its to release excess energy that they have stored up.
How is energy from the plants transported from plants to animals?
Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of various molecules. The most common is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and this molecule is transferred from the plants and can be used in the animals.
What is the process animals use to release the energy stored in food?
respiration
What do animals use in order to release energy stored in food?
Animals use their stomach and then enzymes to release the energy stored in food. This energy is formed into high energy compounds like adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
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.
How is glucose stored in leaves?
When glucose gets broken down in animals and plants during respiration, stored energy is released in cells.
What is the stored energy that all animals use?
glucose is the stored energy in animals
What is the impact of animals in the ecosystem?
Animals take the energy from plants, reprocess it, and transfer it into chemical, mechanical, and thermal energy. And after the animals die, the energy they stored is broken down by tiny organisms, absorbed into the soil, and then used by plants to grow. The circle of life.
In which process is energy stored in the form of glucose?
The process' (2) in which energy is stored in the form of glucose are photosynthesis and also cellular respiration. Photosynthesis takes place in plants and cellular respiration in both plants and animals.
