Plants and animals serve numerous non-food purposes, such as providing materials for clothing and textiles, like cotton from plants and wool from sheep. They are also used in traditional medicine and pharmaceuticals, with many plants offering medicinal properties. Additionally, plants contribute to environmental benefits, such as oxygen production and soil stabilization, while animals play roles in ecosystems and can be used for labor, like in farming or transportation.
plants
Everything in the food chain uses solar energy. Plants use it to grow and to make it's food. Animals need it because that is what they eat and we need animals and plants to survive.
The producers (plants), the consumers (animals) and the decomposers (bacteria) use the food chain.
Algae
Chloroplasts.
photosynthesis
Producers are plants. They're at the bottom of the food chain. They use sunlight and carbon dioxide to make food.
Plants in the process called photosynthesis.
Plants use photosynthesis to make their own food using sunlight.
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.
heterotroph means that the organism uses organic carbon (plants and animals ie food) for growth... ie humans are heterotrophsplants and algae are autotrophs which means they use the sunlight and carbon to make their food..
plants get their energy and food through a process called photosynthesis. in other words, plants use sunlight to produce energy and food.
