Do plants require less energy than animals because they are much smaller than most animals?
No, actually plants require more energy, because unlke animals plants use energy as food as to where animals hunt and eat plants.
What do you call the organisms that act on dead plants and animals?
An organism that creates energy from the organic matter of dead plants or animals is called a decomposer. Most bacteria and fungi are decomposers.
Animals obtain their energy and carbon from?
Animals obtain their energy from the consumption of plants or other animals.
How do animals get energy from sunlight?
By eating plants.
What gas do animals exhale and plants take in?
Carbon dioxide or CO2 is exhaled by animals when they use their food for energy. Oxygen is used to burn the glucose so that it can be used as energy for growth and repair. This is called cellular respiration and occurs in every single living organism. Plants then use the carbon dioxide to photosynthesise and create their own food in the form of glucose. They release oxygen and create water as a result of photosynthesis. Animals use the oxygen for cellular respiration and when the plants are consumed use the glucose for 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.
How do plants and animals relesase energy?
Plants release energy by absorbing in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Animals release energy by eating and their waste releases energy by turning in to a decomposed material to make humus for plants
How do plants and animals release energy?
Plants and animals release energy through cellular respiration. Plants and animals exchange gases through this process with animals taking in oxygen and plants carbon dioxide.
What is the process called that plants and animals get their energy?
That is called metabolism.
How plant and animal cells obtain and release energy?
Plants get their energy from the sun. They use the light from the sun in a process called photosynthesis. Animals get their energy from the consumption of food.
Why do plants and animals need to release energy from food?
So they can live
How do animals and plants differ in the way that they get energy?
Animals eat meat or plants for energy and plants go through process called Photosynthesis which makes sugar for the plant to eat.
How do plants and animals get their energy in different ways-?
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, and animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.
How do plants and animals get their energy different ways?
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, and animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.
How are fungi dependent on plants and animals for their energy?
Animals and fungi that must depend on autotrophs for their food energy are called consumers. These consumers are also called heterotrophs.
How do plants get their energy and how do animals get their energy?
Basically, plants get their energy from sunlight; animals get their energy by eating other living beings (plants, or other animals).
How is energy from the plants transported from plants to animals?
Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of various molecules. The most common is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and this molecule is transferred from the plants and can be used in the animals.
