So they can live
The release of energy in plants and animals food is chemical energy.
The release of energy in plants and animals is called respiration.
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, and animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.
Plants use energy from sunlight during the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (energy-rich food) and oxygen. This is how plants produce their own food and release oxygen as a byproduct.
Energy in food comes from the sun. The sun is the source of energy in all food, because at some level in the food chain animals rely on animals that eat plants and plants derive their energy from the sun.
Animals depend on plants for providing food and releasing oxygen into the air. Certain Plants also can change nitrogen into useful compounds and release that into the air. (plants such as clover, peanuts, beans.)
Animals get their energy from the food that they eat. Herbivores get food from plants which produce their own food during photosynthesis. Omnivores get food from both plants and animals. On the other hands, carnivores eat other animals as food to get energy. For example: Plant >> Chicken >> Human For this food web, the energy is transferred from the plant to the chicken then to the human. But not all the energy produced by the plant is transferred. Some of the energy but used up by the chicken so only some energy are passed on to the human.
Food, plants , animals are sources of food energy. They are eaten by organisms.
Yes - indirectly. We get energy from the food we eat, which comes from animals or plants; animals also get their energy from plants; and plants get the energy from sunlight.
You get energy from all food sources. There are plants and then there's meat. You get direct energy from eating plants. When you eat animals, you get the energy that they got from eating plants.
no
Well the lysosomes break down their food and the mitochondria releases stored energy.
