Cows release more carbon dioxide when they burp or release flatulence than a car does for a whole month....or something like that.

Why is carbon-14 found in all living things?
Carbon-14 is produced by the effect of solar radiation on nitrogen-14 in the atmosphere. This is then incorporated into plants during the process of photosynthesis. Animals eat plants (and/or other animals that have eaten plants), so carbon-14 gets into their bodies as well.
What type of organisms are always producers?
Producers are organisms like green plants, which produce organic compounds from inorganic compounds. The plants are then eaten by consumers like the grazing animals. Plants are known as the primary producers.
How is the energy of the sun passed on to animals?
photosyntices Energy from the sun is transferred from plants to animals by the animal consuming the plant.
Why are plants important to the survival of other organisms?
The reason why the food that plants make is important not only to the plant themselves, but to other organisms, is because the nutrients that the plant makes from photosynthesis not only helps the plant but other organisms that feed off of the plant and the plant's nutrients.
Who eats herbivores?
Herbivores are animals that don't eat other animals. Animals that eat other animals are called Carnivores.
How do animals get carbon?
Animals get carbon by eating plants or algae or other animals that have eaten plants.
Once carbon has been converted to food by plants what three things can happen to it?
1. Plants respire and carbon dioxide is. released at night. 2. Plants are eaten by animals and animals respire and carbon dioxide is released. 3. Plants and animals die and are decomposed. Decomposers release carbon dioxide from decaying matter into the air.
What type of relationship do plants and animals have with one another?
Generally producers (plants) are eaten by primary consumers (animals). Also plants use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen in photosynthesis needed for cellular respiration which in turn gives off carbon dioxide interconnecting plants and animals.
What happens to carbon dioxide in the carbon cycle?
In the carbon cycle plants capture carbon dioxide , reacting it with water to produce sugars and oxygen gas. Animals can then eat those plants and react the sugars with oxygen, re-releasing the carbon dioxide. A similar process occurs when the plant or animal dies and decomposes, is burned in a fire, or if the animal itself is eaten.
Explain how biogeochemical cycles are life support to the ecosystems.?
Ecosystems are life. Each animal and plant and human within an ecosystem depends on the other to survive. Eg. Plants are eaten by insects. Insects eaten by birds. Birds eaten by animals. Animals eaten by humans. If plants died out so would we eventually.
Plants and animals are eaten by?
omnivores
What happens when a plant is eaten by an animals?
A plant eats glucose, it makes its own glucose by sunlight, water, and carbohydrate. it makes its own food and sends it throughout the stems and leaves, well, i don't know that much about plants
What happens to most of the corn in US?
It's eaten by animals
How does energy from animals come originally from the sun?
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.
Because plants are eaten by animals almost all life on earth is directly or indirectly...?
Because plants are eaten by animals, almost all life on Earth is directly indirectly...
If something can be eaten what is it called?
If something can be eaten, it is called edible. Producers (plants) are eaten by animals called herbivores. The herbivores are eaten by carnivores.
Plants and animals have a wonderful partnership What is it that plants need from animals and what do plants produce that is essential to animals?
Plants can affect animals by producing fruits for the animals to eat. The plants get pollinated, and the seeds grow and develop into a fruit. Animals then eat these fruits, getting vital nutrients into their systems. The seeds from the plant are encased in a hard outer coating and are soon excreted out of the animals system, and the seeds grow in a place very far away from their 'parent plants' which helps the plant speciesFlora and fauna affect each other through the food chain. Soils make plants grow, which animals like sheep eat, and the sheep are then eaten by wolves and other predators. The food chain normally starts off with a plant of some kind and then goes up to either man or other large predators. An example of a food chain is: Seaweed; Fish; Sea Eagle. This means that the seaweed is eaten by the fish which is in turn eaten by the sea eagle.
