Animals convert chemical energy from their food to several forms of energy: kinetic energy (for motion) and thermal energy (for heat). They also store some of this energy still in the form of chemical energy.

What gas do animals need to convert food into energy?
oxygen:DOxygenoxygen
What is food an example of what energy?
Animals get energy from the food they eat. Their body transforms chemical energy in the food into kinetic energy, thermal energy, and other chemical energy
How does sunlight provide energy to all organisms?
The only organisms that can directly convert sunlight into energy are plants. Plants intake solar light and, through a series of complex chemical reactions, produce food and stored energy. This energy travels along the food chain as plants are eaten by animals, and animals by other animals. However, as each organism consumes the one before it, only about 10% of consumed organism's energy is transferred.
How is energy transferred in the environment?
Energy is transferred into the environment by the sun. The sun provides the base energy for all ecosystems in the world. Plants turn sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Then, animals eat the plants for energy, and other animals eat those animals and other animals eat THOSE animals and so forth.Another way to look at it is to say that energy is transferred into the environment whenever you burn fossil fuels.
What basic unit of food is used for energy and growth?
The sun provides light energy which plants use to convert in to chemical energy through photosynthesis. Nutrients from the soil also assist in growth of plants. Animals rely completely on these green plants for their energy. Green plants produce chemical energy (food energy).
True or false Can heterotrophs convert solar energy into chemical energy?
False from what i understand heterotrophs are animals and animals get their energy from other animals/ plants. Autotrophs are the ones that convert solar energy in to chemical energy through photosynthesis
How do producers convert solar energy into chemical energy?
by eating other animals
How do plants use chemical energy to help animals?
convert some of it to electrical energy
What gas do animals need to convert food into energy?
oxygen:DOxygenoxygen
What kind of energy do animals have?
Chemical Energy (:
What is the release of energy in plants and animals from food?
The release of energy in plants and animals food is chemical energy.
Is photosynthesis a vertebrate?
No, photosynthesis is not a vertebrate. Vertebrates are animals. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria to convert light energy into chemical energy.
What is the source of ATP in animals?
Chemical energy made in food that the animals eat.
What of energy is in the food before the animals change it?
Chemical energy.....
Why dosent an animal cell have chloroplasts?
because chloroplasts are organelles that capture the energy from sun light and convert it into chemical energy in a process call photosynthesis. and animals cant do that.
Which process do the animals in the food web use to convert energy from food into ATP?
Cellular respiration is the process the animals in the food web use to convert energy from food into ATP.
When the demand for energy is low animals convert what?
When the demand for energy is low, animals convert glucose to glycogen to fat. Glucose is sometimes referred to as grape sugar or D-glucose.
