Animals that eat just plants are called herbivores. These animals obtain their energy and nutrients from consuming various parts of plants such as leaves, fruits, and roots. Examples include cows, rabbits, and deer.
Plants at that time obtained energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. Animals would then consume these plants or other animals in order to obtain energy through the process of cellular respiration, breaking down organic molecules to release energy for metabolism. This ecosystem fueled the biodiversity and evolution of life during that period.
Plants and animals have different metabolic processes, and plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. While plants may be smaller than some animals, their energy needs depend more on factors like growth rate, environmental conditions, and reproductive strategies rather than just size.
Animals do not capture energy directly from the sun like plants through photosynthesis. Instead, animals indirectly obtain solar energy by consuming plants or other animals that have stored energy from the sun. The energy from the sun is passed through the food chain and eventually utilized by animals for various biological processes.
By eating plants.
The release of energy in plants and animals food is chemical energy.
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy. Animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals and breaking down the organic molecules through processes like respiration to release energy for their cells.
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
Plants release energy through the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose. Animals release energy through the process of cellular respiration, where they break down glucose and other nutrients to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells.
So they can live
Animals eat meat or plants for energy and plants go through process called Photosynthesis which makes sugar for the plant to eat.
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, and animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, and animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.
Animals and fungi that must depend on autotrophs for their food energy are called consumers. These consumers are also called heterotrophs.
Basically, plants get their energy from sunlight; animals get their energy by eating other living beings (plants, or other 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.
An animal that eats both plants and animals that have eaten plants is called an omnivore. Omnivores have a varied diet that includes both plant and animal matter to fulfill their energy needs.
