No animals use photosynthesis as a means of obtaining energy. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. Animals obtain energy by consuming plants, other animals, or other organic matter.
Yes, algae perform photosynthesis as a means of obtaining energy.
No, bacteria do not go through photosynthesis to obtain energy. Instead, they obtain energy through processes such as fermentation or respiration.
Chloroplasts are the organelles plant cells use for photosynthesis. Animal cells do not contain chloroplasts.Animal cells are not capable of carrying out photosynthesis because of the lack of energy from the sun. Our cells do not have chloroplast which is needed to contribute to photosynthesis. To contribute to photosynthesis you need chloroplast to pull energy from the sun. Animals have mitochondria in the cell which plants also have, but instead of it collecting the energy from the chloroplast the mitochondria collects energy from the food we consume. Fact is, we have a food chain which is needed for energy for animals. Without the chloroplast and chlorophyll, we have no means of photosynthesis.
False. The most effective means of obtaining energy from glucose is through the process of cellular respiration, which requires oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration, not a requirement for obtaining energy from glucose.
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.

Photosynthesis, which is the process by which chloroplasts convert sunlight into energy for the cell. This means that animal cells rely on obtaining energy through other means, such as consuming food.

Plants are endothermic because they use photosynthesis as their means of obtaining energy and endothermic means energy obtaining. A candle flame would be considered exothermic because it releases heat.
Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants make their own food... i.e. glucose. When they do not have light they cannot perform photosynthesis so they must use respiration to make their energy. Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to extract energy. Animals use respiration as their only means of getting energy.

Yes. Heterotrophs are organisms which must take in organic substrates in order to survive. This means they are consumers that take the energy from other organisms, plants or animals because it is incapable of obtaining its energy any other way, such as through photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plants. Cows, being such consumers, then need to get their energy by consuming plants, making them heterotrophs.
Energy comes from sun light. This energy is captured by chlorophyll
False. The most effective means of obtaining energy from glucose is through the process of cellular respiration, which requires oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration, not a requirement for obtaining energy from glucose.
The importance of photosynthesis to life on earth is that it produces oxygen for animals and food for the plants. This is very important for the producers especially as it is their means of obtaining energy.
All plants and some protists share a cellular structure characterized by cell walls made of cellulose, which provide rigidity and support. They possess chloroplasts containing chlorophyll, enabling photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. In contrast, animals lack cell walls and chloroplasts, relying on heterotrophic means of obtaining energy through consumption. This fundamental difference in structure and function distinguishes plants and certain protists from animals.
