Animals respire more than plants, meaning they use more energy in the metabolic process.

Plants carry out respiration when they utilize the food in their system which has usually been produced through photosynthesis.

Both plants and animals carry out metabolism, but they acquire the energy for this process by different means, i.e. plants employ photosynthesis and animal eat.

Plant require very little energy compared to animals. Plant metabolic activities provide energy for transpiration, growth, etc.

In comparison, animals expend considerable energy to perform physical activities like locomotion, and energy for organ functions ( including the brain). Mammals must further maintain body temperature which has a large energy requirement.

Do photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?

Photosynthesis only occurs in plants, on the leaves, to produce nutrients for it. Animals all respire, which is effectively the opposite of respiration.


What are the energy plants?

Those that photosynthesize, more than they respire.


Do just plants photosynthesize or do they respire two?

they respire and photosynthesize just sometimes do one more than the other


Do both animals and plants respire?

Yes, both animals and plants respire to release energy stored in food. Animals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide through a process called cellular respiration. Plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy, and also respire by taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.


Why is it important for plants to respire?

It is important for plants to respire because they convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen. Therefore Making the planet more hospitable to animal life.


Why can't plants respire at day?

Plants need to photozynthesis during day does not enable them to respire.


Do all organism breath?

No, not all organisms breathe. While most animals have a respiratory system that involves breathing to exchange gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, some organisms like plants and certain microbes rely on different mechanisms, such as photosynthesis or simple diffusion, to obtain the gases they need.


Which do you think will respire more the snail or plant?

In general, snails respire more than plants because they have a higher metabolic rate and require oxygen for cellular respiration. While plants also respire, they primarily engage in photosynthesis during daylight, producing oxygen and consuming carbon dioxide. At night, plants switch to respiration, but the overall rate is typically lower than that of animals like snails. Therefore, in terms of overall respiration, snails tend to have a higher demand for oxygen.


Why do animals do respiration?

Not only animals respire even plants respire. In respiration they take up oxygen. This O2 is used for oxidation of food which results in release of energy.


How plants respire?

Plants have two types of respiration arobic and anerobic Plants do not breathe like humans, although they respire. This is when they absorb oxygen from the air around them and in return, release Carbon Dioxide. This is different from photosynthesis where they release oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. They photosynthesise to produce glucose, and then respire to convert that glucose into energy. During the day, plants give out more oxygen, and during the night, plants give out more carbon dioxide.
