How do organisms obtain energy and why do they need it?
Plants make their energy by using the sun and animals eat plants or animals or both. We can't make our own food (energy) so we have to eat others.
What organism must obtain nutrients and what?
All living organism requires nutrients of some sort. Animals require food, plants require water and sunlight, etc.
How does photosynthesis affect the flow of energy in the biosphere?
Photosynthesis occurs only when plants can obtain carbon dioxide, water and light from their external environment, products produced are sugars and oxygen. All living things depend on the process of photosynthesis, which it provides the continuous input of energy necessary to sustain ecosystems. Photosynthesis enables green plants to obtain energy directly; plants and animals obtain this energy indirectly from the food they eat.
How do organisms obtain energy from polysaccharides?
Because glucose is such an important molecule from which organisms obtain energy, plants and animals will string together units of glucose called polysaccharides. Plants store glucose as a polysaccharide called starch.
What do autotroph and heterotroph mean?
Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food, such as plants. their food comes form the sun meaning they use light energy to produce food. Although heterotrophs ultimately get their energy from the sun, but the way they obtain is different. in heterotrophs they obtain energy from the food they consume. For example eating plants that have obtained energy from the sun, or by eating animals that have eaten such plants.
Animals obtain their energy and carbon from?
Animals obtain their energy from the consumption of plants or other animals.
How do people obtain energy from earth's resources?
simples. sun get enery from plants, animals get energy from plants. we eat plants and animals so we obtain energy
How do plants and animals cell obtain energy?
obtain energy from nucleas
How do animals obtain energy from plants?
by eating them
What do Nearly all living things obtain energy either directly or?
Photosynthesis gives plants energy, and when animals eat the plants, they gain energy from the plants. And, of course, when animals eat other animals, they indirectly obtain energy from the plants, which get their energy from the sun. So, the answer would be the sun.
What organism in the soil food chain does not obtain energy directly from plants?
protozoa
How did plants and animals get their energy before they became fossil fuels?
Plants derive energy through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy. Animals obtain their energy by consuming plants or other animals. In this way, energy flows through the food chain, with each organism relying on the energy stored in the organisms they consume. Before the formation of fossil fuels, the primary sources of energy were natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, and organic matter from living organisms.
Where did the fossil fuels get there energy?
Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.
How do organisms obtain energy and why do they need it?
Plants make their energy by using the sun and animals eat plants or animals or both. We can't make our own food (energy) so we have to eat others.
Do jackrabbits obtain their energy from other organisms?
Like ALL animals, yes. They get energy from the plants they eat.
How do plants provide energy and nutrients to other organism?
Herbivore animals eat the plants as food and carnivores eat those herbivore animals as food. Therefore, in a way, all animals depend on plants for their energy requirement.
How did animals obtain energy for themselves?
Animals require energy to support the processes of life: movement, foraging, digestion, reproduction, growth, work. Organisms can be categorized into one of the following groups:autotroph - an organism that obtains energy from sunlight (in the case of green plants) or inorganic compounds (in the case of sulfur bacteria)heterotroph - an organism that use organic materials as a source of energy
