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.
Is it true that all animals and people receive carbon from oxygen?
Yes, both animals and people receive carbon from oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, where plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Animals then consume these plants to obtain carbon for their own growth and energy needs.
How do plants and animals depend on each other?
Plants convert carbon dioxide given off by animals into oxygen. This process helps both plants and animals to survive. some animals llike deer need plants for food. Plants depend on animals for pollination and dispersal of seeds. Many animals just eat them but some use them as their shelter and and some to escape from predators. Plants depend on animals for enery as when an animal dies plants uses its body's nutrients.
Why animals cannot perform photosynthesis?
Animals cannot perform photosyntheis because they are heterotrophs(which depends on autotrophs for food). Autotrophs contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which traps light energy and produce food e.g Plants
How is solar energy stored in living organisms?
Solar energy is stored in living organisms through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which can be stored as starch or cellulose. Animals, including humans, then obtain this stored energy by consuming plants or plant-eating animals.
What is connective between animals and plants?
Animals and plants both grow, have a lifespan, needs nutrition, are dependent of air and water (with few exceptions).
Explain why animals food and energy can be traced back to plants and the sun?
Plants need the energy from the sun to grow. The small animals, such as rabbits, eat these plants to grow. Meat eaters such as hawks, prey on these rabitts, therefore connects hawks to the sun. Because the hawks eat the rabbits, who eat plants, who use the sun... the hawks are inderrectly dependent on the sun's enegy. Even humans are in need of the sun, as vegetariands eat plants, and omnivors eat cows, who eat plants. Therfore, every living being on this plant is dependent on the suns energy in one way or another.

How are the needs of single-celled origanisms simalir to the needs of plants or animals?
They need to eat, process energy, avoid being eaten, reproduce, adapt, survive... just about identical to plants and other animals.
Do plants require less energy than animals because they are much smaller than most animals?
Plants and animals have different metabolic processes, and plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. While plants may be smaller than some animals, their energy needs depend more on factors like growth rate, environmental conditions, and reproductive strategies rather than just size.
Why do plants and animals need energy?
Plants and animals need energy to carry out essential life processes like growth, reproduction, movement, and maintaining homeostasis. This energy comes from breaking down nutrients in food through processes like photosynthesis in plants and cellular respiration in animals.
Was the energy in food originally light from the sun?
Yes, the energy in food initially comes from the sun as plants use sunlight to convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. When animals eat plants or other animals, they obtain this stored energy and use it for their own energy needs.
Where do animals get their energy?
Animals receive energy from the foods they eat. The food gives animals energy just as food gives humans energy. Plants however, receive their engery in the form of solar energy...from the sun They get their energy from their food.
An animal that gets its energy from eating both plants and animals that have eaten plants is called a what?
Omnivore. Humans are omnivores, as we eat both plants and animals.
Where does the energy in our house originate?
The sun is the first provider of energy. Mostly absorbed by plants for there energy needs. Then that energy is transfered to animals and works its way through the food chain.
Why do most animals depend on plants for their energy?
There are certain chemicals that the animal needs to 'recharge' its system. They also have not yet adapted to not relying on plants, like carnivores. Plants are probably abundant in many areas where animals that eat them live.
What kind of energy is store into food after light energy is converted into another type when green plants make food?
The energy stored in plants through photosynthesis is chemical energy, specifically in the form of glucose. This energy is used by plants for growth and maintenance, as well as being transferred to animals that consume the plants for their own energy needs.
