Adult butterflies do not eat plants but live on fluid nutrients gathered from flowering plants. Different species of butterflies favor different flowers. The flowers they feed on can grow on plants, shrubs, vines or trees. It is the caterpillar (larval stage of butterfly life cycle) that eats various parts of plants where its larvae will hatch. Nowadays, keeping a butterfly garden is quite a hobby wherein one can grow nectar-rich flower plants, provide host plants in the garden for the adult butterfly to lay its eggs and nurture its consequent life cycle. At the end of it, that's a garden full of vibrantly colored butterflies you will have!

The movements of energy and nutrients through living systems are different because of what?
energy flows in one direction and nutrients recycle.
What type of calorie provides energy but no nutrients?
EMPTY
What digestion give off energy from?
From chemically burning the nutrients.
Nutrients that do not yield energy include?
Minerals and water
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).
How do butterflies energy?
Butterflies use their energy in various ways. Butterflies use their energy to eat and to fly around their environments for example.
Why do butterflies eat plants?
to have nutrients
Cells use nutrients to provide which of these?
Energy
A long thin tube in butterflies and mosquitoes?
The long thin tube is a proboscis (snout/mouth) which they use to feed-- butterflies use it to sip nectar or other nutrients, and mosquitoes to obtain either nectar or blood.
What cells use absorbed nutrients for which purpose?
energy.
How do animals use the food produce by plants?
they use the energy of the plant as nutrients.
Catabolic reaction that cells use to get energy from nutrients?
Energy metabolism is a reaction that allows cells to get energy from nutrients. A catabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions that break down the molecules to produce energy.
What energy does fungi use?
Fungi get their energy from waste materials and decaying organisms. They are able to use hyphae which absorb nutrients in one area. The hyphae will then grow out as a means to absorb other nutrients.
The two structures most plants use to gather nutrients and energy to live are?
Roots to absorb nutrients from the ground and leaves to absorb the suns rays for energy.
How do cells make and use energy?
Cells make and use energy through the process of photosynthesis. This process both creates energy and uses energy to deliver the nutrients.
What nutrients do cells use?
to provide energy
Do butterflies need energy?
yes they do need energy
