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.

Why are humans more like animals than plants?
We have hearts animals have hearts , have you ever felt a plants heart beat plus can plants walk

plants and animals living on a continent seemed more closely related to each other than to plants and animals living in similar regions on other continents
What two groups did scientists divide organisms into before the sixteen hundreds?
Plants and animals.
How do plants help humans and animals?
you can help plants by not plucking them,you can help plants by watering them.you can help animals by feeding them,sheltering them, if they are lost giving them to the police.etc!!!!!!!!!!!
How is the energy of the sun transferred through a food web?
The sun allow plants to photosynthesis which is to make food and grow. The plants eating animals will eat them and then the meat eating animals will eat animals. Then us humans will eat the animals and plants.
Do animals and plants respire like humans?
not like humans but they do respiration but how do they respire then ?
Do all organism breath?
All organisms respire. Plants do not breathe, but they respire. Animals breathe to respire.
Do plants and animals respire?
How am i supposed to know
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.
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
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.
How can carbon be passed from plants and animals to human beings?
when plants and animals respire, carbon is returned to the air as carbon dioxide, and humans then beathe in the same carbon dioxide that was placed into the air by the decomposed plants and animals.
Why can't plants respire at day?
Plants need to photozynthesis during day does not enable them to respire.
Which living things carry out the process of respiration?
all living organisms respire during respiration they take in oxygen and give out carbon-dioxide during respiration the food present in the body is broken down with the help of oxygen to release energy
Do both animals and plants respire?
Yes. They both use cellular respiration to break down Glucose. However, only plants use Photosynethsis.
