In humans and animals, most glycogen is stored as granules. when the body needs energy, it breaks down the glycogen granules into energy.

What happens to the energy stored in plants when an animal eats the plant?

When an organism needs fuel, its cells can use oxygen to break apart food molecules. The release of energy in plants and animals from food is called respiration (res*puh*RAY*shuhn). In respiration, which occurs in plants and animals, sugars and oxygen join to produce water, carbon dioxide, and energy.


What does not contain carbon from the bodies of plants and animals that died millions of years ago?

Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal do not contain carbon from ancient plant and animal remains. These sources generate electricity without burning fossil fuels, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional energy sources that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.


What average percentage of plant production goes to animal consumption?

100% The sun gives energy to the plants, the plants give energy to the herbivores, and the carnivores get their energy from the herbivores.


What are plants called when they make their own food of light energy?

Cell's that create their own food out of light energy are called plant cells. Plants is the organism made out of plant cells. A plant cell is part of a cell category called Eukaryotes. Eukaryotes contain both animal and plant cells.


What animal eats Marsh?

If by marsh, you mean the environment in general, then the animal that eats that is a decomposer. Decomposers breakdown bottom level decomposing materials like dead plant and animal material and turn it into renewable energy.

True or false the energy in fossil fuels derived from the energy stored in plant and animal matter?

true


Is it true that energy in fossil fuels is derived from the energy stored in plant and animal matter?

Yes, that's where it is usually believed that fossil fuels come from - and that's why they are called "fossil" in the first place.


How is energy stored in fossilized plant and animal matter?

Energy in fossilized plant and animal matter is stored in the form of chemical bonds within organic compounds. Over millions of years, heat and pressure transform these remains into fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The energy originally captured from sunlight through photosynthesis in plants or consumed by animals is released when these fossil fuels are burned, converting the stored chemical energy into usable energy.


What type of energy is stored in a plant and then used in muscle cells of an animal that ate the plant?

Heat energy!!


What performance is made when a plant and animal cell releases energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules?

Cellular Respiration is when plant and animal cells release energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules.


How does a power plant transform energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?

A power plant burns fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas to heat water and produce steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity. This process converts the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy.


When fossil fuels are burned what is energy converted into?

When fossil fuels are burned, the chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to produce steam in a power plant, which drives a turbine to generate electricity.


What does the sun have to do with fossil fuels?

fossil fuels are the remains of dead plant matter, mostly plankton. Those plants use the sun to preform photosynthis. So the sun in a way grew the materials that the oil and coal we use today are made up of.


When plant or animal cells need energy they can get it from stored what?

When plant or animal cells need energy, they can derive it from stored carbohydrates, primarily in the form of glycogen in animals and starch in plants. Additionally, fats and proteins can also be broken down to release energy when carbohydrates are depleted. These energy reserves are crucial for maintaining cellular functions during periods of low energy availability.


When a large animal eats a plant eater does it receive energy?

How did the energy get into fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are made from plant and vegetable matter that died millions of years ago. The plants and vegetables got their energy from the main energy source around here - our sun. Essentially, fossil fuels can be regarded as stored energy from the sun. We use/release that energy again by burning the fuel.


Is it true When fossil fuels are burned they release energy stored years ago?

Yes. The energy stored in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) comes from animals and plant matter stored underground 300 million years ago. Releasing it now adds extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change.
