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.

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.

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.


Why can plant perform photosynthesis but animals cannot?

Plants contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll, which allows them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy. Animals do not have chloroplasts and lack the necessary cellular machinery to carry out photosynthesis. Instead, animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms.


What plants are involved in photosynthesis?

All plants, some protists, bacteria and blue green algae uses the sun to make photosynthesis. Plants use photosynthesis to create energy that then makes sugar for nutrient.


How photosynthesis is useful for animals?

Photosynthesis cannot effect a meat eating animal.Photosynthesis has to take place with 3 main things: sun, chlorophyll, and oxygen.Now notice how I said chlorophyll. Meat eating animals do not have chlorophyll. This means the formula of life (or in other words, photosynthesis,) cannot take place.No meat eating animals have anything to do with photosynthesis. Even if it was plant eating animals, they still have nothing to do with photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is for plants only. So photosynthesis cannot effect meat eating animals in ANYWAY.Hope that answered your question.


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.


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.


What life form began to do photosynthesis?

Plants can use photosynthesis. I hope that helps!


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.


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.


What are two things that humans get out of photosynthesis?

Humans benefit from photosynthesis primarily through the oxygen produced as a byproduct, which is essential for respiration. Additionally, photosynthesis is crucial for the food chain, as it provides the organic compounds that form the basis of our diet, either directly from plants or indirectly through animals that consume plants.


Which form do most energy flow begin?

Most energy flow begins as sunlight, which is captured by plants through photosynthesis. Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which is then passed on to consumers when they eat plants or other animals that have eaten plants.


Why are plants important to animals?

Animals get most of their energy and nutrition from plants. Animals either eat the plants, or eat animals that ate the plants. Also, it gives animals a place to live. Such as spiders, ants, moles, and other animals. Plants also provide animals oxygen.
