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.

Is all the energy from plants passed on to the animal that eats it?

No, not all the energy from plants is passed on to the animal that eats them. Some energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes, and other energy is used by the plant for growth and reproduction. As a result, only a portion of the energy stored in plants is transferred to the animal when it is consumed.

What is the type of energy that is stored in the form of food during photosynthesis?

when plants use photosynthesis plants use the light energy from the sun (and other ingrediants) and convert it into glucose which in some plants can be stored in fruits that we eat such as vegetables or if a animal eats said plant the animal breaks down the glucose and uses it as chemical energy to use throughout their daily activities or can be stored in things such as fat but to be used later on or can be harvested and eaten and broken down by other animals to be used; however, when this happens the predator dosn't get near as much energy so would have to eat more to get the same amount of energy due to the loss of energy but is still broken down the same way
