w energy needs because unlike animals they don't move all the time. the physical activity done by plants is very less than that of animals.

They are sessile, that is they do not move around as most animals do.

What most accurately compares how different eukaryotic kingdoms obtain energy?

Plants make their own food to obtain energy and fungi decompose organic material.


What turns sunlight into energy?

solar panels in technological terms. It takes in light energy from the sun and converts it into electrical energy. Chlorophyll in natural terms, found in plants. Usually, photoautotrophs that make their own food from the energy they get from light energy.


Are plants autotrophs?

yes they make there own food.


What organisms that make their own food for energy?

I would say a plant, i mean it does photosynthesis but does not consume anything. If not mitochondria are the parts of our cells that make energy.Supplementary answerActually although plants (green ones only) do photosynthesise compounds, they also consume stuff. That's why it's a good idea to ensure that they have fertiliser, or that the ground is fertile. And non-green plants (e.g. fungi) don't photosynthesise anyway. They need chlorophyll to be able to do that.Organisms that make their own food are plants. They are called producers. They use a process called photosynthesis. In the process, plants mix water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight, to make sugar, their food.


Explain how most energy used on earth can be traced back to the sun?

Photoautotrophs (mostly) are the only organisms which can produce their own food using the energy from the Sun. All other organisms either have to eat plants (primary consumers) or eat animals that eat plants (secondary consumers). There are relatively few tertiary consumers.

You are describing a consumer. They do not make their own food like plants do.


Why does photosynthesis require light energy?

Photosynthesis need light energy for several reasons. Plants cannot make their own energy, so they must capture it from the sun. This is how they respire and make their food.

What are differences between heterotroph and autotroph?

Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs or other heterotrophs for energy. Autotrophs, such as plants, can make their own food using photosynthesis. Heterotrophs, such as animals, must eat plants or other animals to obtain their energy.


Why plants make their own food?

Plants make their own food because they are unable to get nutrience from other sorts of places. Animals are able to get their energy from other animals and plants, however plants are unable to do this. Plants are primary producers in ecosystems because they are were energy initially enters the system.


How does a Sakura make its own food?

All plants make their own food through photosynthesis; converting energy from the sun into plant energy to sustain their life.
