Want this question answered?
False from what i understand heterotrophs are animals and animals get their energy from other animals/ plants. Autotrophs are the ones that convert solar energy in to chemical energy through photosynthesis
Plants transform light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
during photosynthisis SOLAR energy is the type of energy which plants turn into chemical energy
ATP. It is short for adenosine triphophate, and it gives energy to all metabolic processes in both plants and animals.
Type of energy that plant transform into chemical energy is Light
through the exylem and then leaves
ThermoDynamics
Radiation to chemical (plants). Chemical to mechanical (animals). chemical to heat (all living things).
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.
The release of energy in plants and animals food is chemical energy.
false :)
Chemical energy ... in food ... which plants made from solar energy, water, and dirt.
Only plants can be autotrophic (using light or chemical energy as their energy source). Animals are all heterotrophic.
convert some of it to electrical energy
Animals convert chemical energy from their food to several forms of energy: kinetic energy (for motion) and thermal energy (for heat). They also store some of this energy still in the form of chemical energy.

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.
