Plants do not necessarily break down sugar. They function as a major source of sugars. Animals need to break down sugars as part of aerobic respiration. Glucose is broken down into Carbon dioxide and water, and ATP is produced as the energy product.

How do plants and animals causes biological weatering?
when plants and animals break/ decay there release chemicals from there bodies which breaks down rocks also the roots of plants sometime penetrate through the rock causing it to crack
Does a plant break down sugar and releases energy using a process called femantation?

What is the process by which cells break down sugar molecules and releases energy?
I believe that is fermentation.
What item made by humans that can be broken down by the agents of physical and chemical weathering?
Plants and animals and ice and frost
What will happen if plants do not get carbon dioxide?
If plants don't get carbon dioxide, they won't be able to take water from the soil to get sugar from sunlight; this sugar is called "Glucose" which is food for a plant, and plants need sugar so they can break it down to get the energy that they need to avoid wilting. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through the leaves and comes back out of the plant as oxygen from the water in the soil, and the carbon dioxide turns into sugar
Tiny plants and animals that break down dead materials into nutrients?
Tiny plants and animals that break down dead materials into nutrients are call DECOMPOSERS
Does algae break down dead plants and animals?
Fungi are responsible for the decomposition of plants and animals.
What type of organisms breaks down the remains of dead animals and plants?
decomposes break down the remains of dead plants and animals.
Where do plants get energy live and grow?
Break down of sugar by photosynthesis
Which living thing in the pond system break down dead plants and animals?
The bacteria refers to the living things in the pond system that break down the dead plants and animals. The dead plants and animals are then deposited beneath the river bed.
How is respiration in plants dependent on photosynthesis?
Respiration is the break down of sugars. In plants, sugars are produced through photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, plants would not have the sugar to break down in respiration.
Does green algae break down dead plants and animals?
yes
Which gas do plants and animals need to break down their food?
Oxygen
How does a cell make its energy which organelle performs this function?
It depends, if its an animal cell the mitochondrea makes energy, for plants its the chloroplasts. Animals break down energy and sugar from what they eat, plants get energy from sunlight and CO2.
What do decomposers consume?
Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They break down the waste of other organisms as well.
When they die plants and animals do this.it means to break down into bits what is it?
Decay
What types of organism break down the remains of dead plants and animals?
