Why is carbon-14 found in all living things?
Carbon-14 is produced by the effect of solar radiation on nitrogen-14 in the atmosphere. This is then incorporated into plants during the process of photosynthesis. Animals eat plants (and/or other animals that have eaten plants), so carbon-14 gets into their bodies as well.
What type of organisms are always producers?
Producers are organisms like green plants, which produce organic compounds from inorganic compounds. The plants are then eaten by consumers like the grazing animals. Plants are known as the primary producers.
How is the energy of the sun passed on to animals?
photosyntices Energy from the sun is transferred from plants to animals by the animal consuming the plant.
Why are plants important to the survival of other organisms?
The reason why the food that plants make is important not only to the plant themselves, but to other organisms, is because the nutrients that the plant makes from photosynthesis not only helps the plant but other organisms that feed off of the plant and the plant's nutrients.
Who eats herbivores?
Herbivores are animals that don't eat other animals. Animals that eat other animals are called Carnivores.
How do animals get carbon?
Animals get carbon primarily by consuming plants or other animals that have already taken in carbon through eating plants. Carbon is a fundamental building block of life and is converted into organic molecules through cellular processes to provide energy for growth and maintenance.
What type of relationship do plants and animals have with one another?
Generally producers (plants) are eaten by primary consumers (animals). Also plants use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen in photosynthesis needed for cellular respiration which in turn gives off carbon dioxide interconnecting plants and animals.
Once carbon has been converted to food by plants what three things can happen to it?
1. Plants respire and carbon dioxide is. released at night. 2. Plants are eaten by animals and animals respire and carbon dioxide is released. 3. Plants and animals die and are decomposed. Decomposers release carbon dioxide from decaying matter into the air.
Plants and animals are eaten by?
omnivores
What happens to most of the corn in US?
It's eaten by animals
How carbon is transferred from the atmosphere to plants to the soil and back to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis, which converts it into organic carbon compounds. When plants die or are eaten by animals, the carbon is transferred to the soil through decomposition. Microorganisms break down the organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. This carbon cycle continues as plants absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
How does energy from animals come originally from the sun?
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.
Because plants are eaten by animals almost all life on earth is directly or indirectly...?
Because plants are eaten by animals, almost all life on Earth is directly indirectly...
If something can be eaten what is it called?
If something can be eaten, it is called edible. Producers (plants) are eaten by animals called herbivores. The herbivores are eaten by carnivores.
What happens to most of the corn sold in the US?
It is eaten by animals.
Are plants are part of the food chain?
Yes. Smaller animals such as deer or elk eat grass or plants and then they are eaten by larger animals.
Why are there prickers on plants?
prickers are on plants so they don't get eaten by some animals that's there protection
