What else can I help you with?
Is all the energy from plants passed on to the animal that eats it?
No, not all the energy from plants is passed on to the animal that eats them. Some energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes, and other energy is used by the plant for growth and reproduction. As a result, only a portion of the energy stored in plants is transferred to the animal when it is consumed.
Eats other organism for food?
Any organism that eats another organism for food is called a heterotrophic animal. These organisms are also known as consumers.
What is a description of the energy flow through an ecosystem?
The plants get 10 percent energy from the sun. The highest concentration of energy is in producers [for example plants or algae]. Then the primary consumer eats only plants but retain only ten percent of their energy. Secondary consumers eat the primary consumers and get ten percent from the primary consumers. Secondary consumers can also eat plants. Then the final level is the tertiary consumers who are typically carnivores and eat secondary consumers. They retain 10 percent from the secondary consumers. So with each level less energy is achieved.
When an animal eats a plant's carbohydrates it performs what releases the carbon back into the atmosphere?
When an animal eats a plant's carbohydrates, it undergoes cellular respiration to break down the carbohydrates for energy, releasing carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere as a byproduct.
Why is a plant called a producer and an animal a consumer?
The plant is a producer because it photosynthesizes and makes food. The animal is a consumer because it eats other organism, such as plants. The plant produces its' own food. The consumer, consumes food made by others or eats other organisms.
When an organism in an ecosystem eats it obtains what?
energy
What does an animal get when it eats another animal?
They get protein for energy
As one animal eats another animal about percent of the energy is lost as heat?
When you eat something you only get 10% of the original energy that was in the thing that you ate eating it does not take that much energy so I would say that you would get about 10% of the energy the anmial had
If an insect eats a plant and a bird eats the insect about how much energy from the plant is stored in the insect for the bird to use?
answer is 1 percent b/c the insect gets 10 percent of the plant's energy, and only 10 percent of that 10 percent is available for the bird,,, free ( joey jihad ) .. youtube him
Consumer that eats animals?
A consumer that eats animals is known as a carnivore. Carnivores obtain their energy and nutrients by feeding on other animals as a food source in order to survive and thrive in their ecosystem. Examples of carnivores include lions, wolves, and sharks.
What animals cannot trace the origin of their energy back to plants?
Animals that feed on other animals exclusively, such as carnivores and some omnivores, cannot trace the origin of their energy back to plants. Instead, their energy comes from consuming other animals that have already converted plant energy into their own tissues.
What animal eats plants or animals for energy?
An omnivore .
How do you not get energy directly from the foods you eat?
because the energy comes from the sun, plants absorb energy, an animal eats the plant and then we eat the animal. The animal didn't create the energy.
How is a vulture consuming the remains of a dead raccoon on the side of a highway is helping an ecosystem?
After the vulture eats the dead raccoon it gets energy from it. When the vulture dies, some of the energy is converted into the organisms that eat dead matter. The energy is then circulated through the ecosystem.
If an insect eats a plant and a bird eats an insect about how much energy from the plant is stored in the insect for the bird to use?
answer is 1 percent b/c the insect gets 10 percent of the plant's energy, and only 10 percent of that 10 percent is available for the bird
The source of energy for most living things is?
There is the food chain sun gives energy to plants through photosynthesis, small animal eg. rabbit eats plants takes the plants energy, bigger animal eg. fox eats rabbit takes rabbits energy bigger animal eats fox this is the foxs' preditor. so the source of energy is the sun because energy is pasted up the food chain.
What happens to the energy that is taken in by an animal when it eats some grass?
Something.
