What is the difference between the metabolism of plants and animals?
Plants conduct photosynthesis to produce energy, while animals consume organic matter for energy. Plants store energy as starch, while animals store energy as glycogen or fat. Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, while animals do not.
Do plants store glycogen?
No, plants do not store glycogen. Instead, plants store carbohydrates in the form of starch, which is the primary energy reserve for plants. Glycogen is primarily found in animals, particularly in the liver and muscles, where it serves as a form of energy storage.
Plants and fungi that thrive on dead tissues of plants and animals?
The Eumycota are fungi that thrive on the dead tissues of plants and animals. They get their nutrients from decomposed matter and store them as energy.
Why do both plants and animals store food?
Plants store food in the form of carbohydrates for energy and growth during stressful conditions like winter or drought. Animals store food as body fat or glycogen for energy reserves when food is scarce or for hibernation, migration, or periods of fasting. Both store food to provide a source of energy when needed.
How do you usually use the energy stored in plants?
Plants store energy in the form of carbohydrates through photosynthesis. When animals eat plants, they break down these carbohydrates through cellular respiration to release the stored energy for their own use.
What is the difference between the metabolism of plants and animals?

Why are fats and oils important to animals and plants?
Animals and plants use fats and oils to store energy and insulation
Do plants store glycogen?
No, plants do not store glycogen. Instead, plants store carbohydrates in the form of starch, which is the primary energy reserve for plants. Glycogen is primarily found in animals, particularly in the liver and muscles, where it serves as a form of energy storage.
How do plants and animals store energy found in fossil fuels?
Plants and animals both store energy found in fossil fuels by going threw a system call cell fertilization thru out their life.
Which do you think lived first -- plants or animals. why do you think so?
No "thinking" required here: plants preceded animals by eons. The reason is energy. Plants store it; animals burn it up. The processes are called synthesis (photosynthesis, if the energy is in the form of light) and respiration. Stored energy has to be built up before it can be used. Animals get that energy from plants by eating them.
Plants and fungi that thrive on dead tissues of plants and animals?
The Eumycota are fungi that thrive on the dead tissues of plants and animals. They get their nutrients from decomposed matter and store them as energy.
Two that store energy are starch which is produced by plants and glycogen which is produce by animals?
monosaccharides
What molecule do plants use to store energy?
Both plants and animals store chemical energy in a nucleotide called ATP (Adenosine-TriPhosphate). This nucleotide acts as a coenzyme for different processes in cells when it releases energy by turning into ADP (adenosine Diphosphate).
Why do both plants and animals store food?
Plants store food in the form of carbohydrates for energy and growth during stressful conditions like winter or drought. Animals store food as body fat or glycogen for energy reserves when food is scarce or for hibernation, migration, or periods of fasting. Both store food to provide a source of energy when needed.
All organisms use ADP to store energy?
No. They use ATP as an energy source (ADP is left over after the energy is used). There is no storage there. Animals use fat to store energy, plants use starch.
Where does an organism store energy?
A small amount of energy is stored in the cells. For animals the major energy store are the fat reserves and for plants the major energy stores is starch. Single celled creatures use glucose.
How animals depend on plants?
Animals depend on plants for food and the reason for this is so animals can get the energy they store from the sun into their own bodies. They also depend on plants because plant's are autotrophs ( make their own food) by using and storing the sun's energy, so because us animals are hetrotrophs ( can't make our own food :S) we depend on the energy the plants have stored from the sun light.
