because animals don't have to make the own sugar and energy. plant have to it the only way they can survive. animals eat there food instead of make in themselves

How is the carbon cycle related to a food web?
Carbon dioxide is used by plants to form glucose, which is like special food that plants make for themselves using light energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide (CO2). They get this carbon dioxide from organisms that use respiration instead of photosynthesis. During respiration, cells take in oxygen, and CO2 is left as an end product. The plants then use this carbon dioxide during photosynthesis with an end product of oxygen. It goes on and on in a never ending carbon cycle. Without plants there would be no animals, and if their were too many plants or too many animals that wouldn't work in a food chain either. Sorry if THAT doesn't answer your question. :)
What is biodivesity?
Biodiversity is the variety of all living things such as the different plants, animals and micro organisms, the genetic information they contain and the ecosystems they form.
How do you draw a picture of a decomposer?
start with the face and then continue to draw its most prominent features. dont forget the the.
Which organisms transform nitrogen to a form that is useful to plants?
bactieria
How does lightning effect the plants around the area in which it has hit?
it can burn the plants and it can also give off harmful chemicals to the plant. It can also burn and die if it does not have special care to it's self. Wow... Lightning turns nitrogen into a usable form for human consumption through plants. Lightning converts the nitrogen in the air from a gaseous form to a usable form for plants. This process is called "fixation". It does not burn plants or cause harmful chemical reactions of any kind.
Why can plant perform photosynthesis but animals cannot?
plants need to photosynthesis as this is how they make their food. animals do not as they get their food from other sources such as plants and other animals.
In which process is energy stored in the form of glucose?
The process' (2) in which energy is stored in the form of glucose are photosynthesis and also cellular respiration. Photosynthesis takes place in plants and cellular respiration in both plants and animals.
How does photosynthesis connect sunlight to the energy needs of plants and animals?
During photosynthesis, the molecules of chlorophyll in plants take in or absorb energy in the form of light from the sun. In relation to animals, the energy taken from the sun divides the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen is then given off for the animals to breathe.
Which is not a pathway by which plants obtain nitrogen in a usable form?
photosynthesis
What is the functional difference of Succinyl CoA synthase in plant and animal?
In plants it is metabolized from photosynthesis to form chlorophyll.In animals it is metabolized in the form of energy originating from the liver.
What life form began to do photosynthesis?
Plants can use photosynthesis. I hope that helps!
Which do you think lived first -- plants or animals. why do you think so?
No "thinking" required here: plants preceded animals by eons. The reason is energy. Plants store it; animals burn it up. The processes are called synthesis (photosynthesis, if the energy is in the form of light) and respiration. Stored energy has to be built up before it can be used. Animals get that energy from plants by eating them.
Does a plant need to carry out photosynthesis to survive?
yes plants need photosynthesis to survive, plants make their own food in the form of sugars
How do starches form?
They are formed through the process of photosynthesis in plants.
Does animal cells produce photosynthesis?
Not all types of plant cells perform photosynthesis. Most cells on the shoot of the plant (depending on the plant) are capable of photosynthesis. However, most root cells are white because they lack pigments and, therefore, are incapable of photosynthesis.
Why do animals depend on photosynthesis?
Plants produce oxygen for use to breathe, and in return the plants take in our carbon dioxide. The CO2 (carbon dioxide) joins with water and solar energy to produce glucose for the plants to live. So humans and plants need each other to live.
The form of energy plants use in photosynthesis is?
light energy (from the sun)
