Animals have no source of energy to make food. Animals get energy from the food they eat.

Plants have a way of capturing energy from sunlight which they then use to make carbohydrates

Can animals prepare food like green plants using water and carbon dioxide if no why?

No animals cannot produce their own food. Animals cannot do this because they are not green. It is the green pigment - chlorophyl - in plants that traps light energy from the sun, which is then used to combine carbon dioxide and water into sugars in the process of photosynthesis Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis.


What makes plants unique from animals in the food chain?

Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen; animals breathe in oxygen & breathe out carbon dioxide.


Which gas do animals remove from the air?

The gas that is taken in by animals is oxygen. Animals absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen.


What do animals give plants that they need to make food?

carbon dioxide


What can plants do with their chloroplasts that animals cannot do?

Plants can make their own food!Plants can photosynthesise. Makin glucose from waterand carbon dioxide using light.


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.


How carbon dioxide gets in the air?

The burning of carbon - be it food in plants and animals or from burning fuel or from burning forests.


Where do animals and people receive carbon?

Animals and people receive carbon primarily through the food they consume. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and convert it into carbohydrates, which are then consumed by animals. The carbon is then transferred through the food chain as animals eat plants or other animals.


How can trees help your environment?

They absorb Carbon dioxide and provide food and a home for animals.


Why fungi are not able to produce their own food?

They cannot photosynthesise which means they cannot convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food).


How do animals depend upon plants?

Animals depend upon plants to produce oxygen (photosynthesis), to absorb carbon dioxide (plant respiration), and as a food source. Even animals that eat other animals (carnivores) depend on plants as a food source, as that is likely what their prey eat to survive.


Can any animals photosynthesize like plants?

No, animals cannot photosynthesize like plants. Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy, while animals obtain energy by consuming food.
