Do animals photosynthesize like plants?

No, animals do not photosynthesize like plants. Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy-rich sugars, while animals obtain energy by consuming food.


What are the different ways that plants fungi and animals obtain nutrients?

Plants obtain nutrients through photosynthesis by using sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars. Fungi absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their mycelium, which can decompose organic matter or form partnerships with plants. Animals obtain nutrients by ingesting organic matter or other organisms for their energy and nutrient needs.


When fungi live on the roots of plants how are they obtaining nutrients?

Fungi obtain nutrients by forming a symbiotic relationship with plants known as mycorrhizae. The fungi help plants absorb water and essential minerals, while the plants provide sugars and other organic compounds to the fungi. This mutually beneficial relationship allows both the fungi and the plants to thrive.


Where do plants obtain carbon for photosynthesis?

Plants obtain carbon for photosynthesis from carbon dioxide in the air.


How do fungi obtain energy?

Fungi obtain energy by breaking down organic matter through the process of decomposition. They secrete enzymes to break down complex organic compounds into simpler molecules, which they then absorb and use as a source of energy. Fungi can also form symbiotic relationships with plants where they help in nutrient absorption in exchange for sugars produced by the plants through photosynthesis.

Where does the food you eat obtain the energy contained in it?

The food you eat obtained the energy contained in it by eating plants, and or eating other organisms which ate plants. Plants obtain energy by a process known as photosynthesis in which they receive energy from the sun (photons) and store it in sugars such as chlorophyll. These sugars are starches and other carbohydrates which can be broken down and the stored energy is released and used by your body.


How do animals and humans obtain energy to keep them live?

The energy that fuels their life all comes from the Sun as sunlight. This is trapped by plants who use it to make sugars. All animals survive by eating plants (and thereby stealing the plants sugars/energy) or each other. This is the basis of what is known as the "food chain".

What happen to sugar in green plants when it is not readily used?

Sugars are stored in the plants. Yams are storage of sugars

Do plants use sugars they produce as food?

Yes, part of these sugars is used up by plants during respiration.


What kind of food does plants make?

Plants make sugars.


How is respiration in plants dependent on photosynthesis?

Respiration is the break down of sugars. In plants, sugars are produced through photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, plants would not have the sugar to break down in respiration.


How do vascular plants get their food?

Vascular plants obtain food through the process of photosynthesis, where they use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce sugars for energy. These sugars are then transported throughout the plant for growth and other metabolic processes. Additionally, vascular plants also absorb nutrients from the soil through their roots to support their growth and development.
