what is the similarity in the way plants and animals obtain energy?
319159
They collect energy from the sun and use carbon dioxide and water in the process called photosynthesis to produce sugars. Animals can make use of the sugars provided by the plants in their own cellular energy factories, the mitochondria.

coz energy in ecosystem comes from sun which is traped by green plants.... Hiii, in an ecosystem, ENERGY comes from outside...

Both plants and animals use cellular respiration to make energy. ... Plants use a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. Through a series of steps, much like cellular respiration, they convert these reactants into the products oxygen and glucose.

The digestive system breaks down the food into molecules. The cells then convert those molecules into a form of energy they can use. So how do plants and animals convert those food molecules into a form of energy they can use? Through a chemical process called cellular respiration.

One of the first things taught in biology class is that animals breathe in oxygen and exhale CO2, while plants take in CO2 during the day and release oxygen. In a process called “photosynthesis,” plants use the energy in sunlight to convert CO2 and water to sugar and oxygen.

The two processes are similar in that they both produce energy, albeit in two different forms. They are different in that photosynthesis assembles the glucose molecule, while cellular respiration takes it apart.

Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. ... These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles.

Photosynthesis in plants converts solar energy into chemical energy using electrons and protons from water. The process of photosynthesis in plants involves a series of steps and reactions that use solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce organic compounds and oxygen.

Plants make their own food while animals have to rely on the plants or other animals for food. In photosynthesis,plants convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose, water and oxygen. ... On the other hand, in animal nutrition, large food molecules are broken down into smaller soluble molecules.

Plants contain chlorophyll and can make their own food Animals cannot make their own food and are dependent on plants and other animals for food. Plants give off oxygen and take in carbon dioxide given off by animals. ... Plants cells have cell walls and other structures differ from those of animals.

Plants have a specialized organelle called chloroplasts. This cellular structure enables plants to derive its energy source from sunlight through a process called photosynthesis. This is the most significant difference among plants and humans because humans do not contain chloroplasts.

How do plant and animal cells differ? Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria. However, plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same organelles, since they each have different needs.

Plants get energy from light through a process called photosynthesis. This is how light affects the growth of a plant. Without light, a plant would not be able to produce the energy it needs to grow.
308645
Cells of plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria have similarities and differences. All of these have nuclei and mitochondria, but plants and some protists have chloroplasts. Animal cells lack cell walls. All eukaryotic cells share common characteristics but also have differences in their cell structures.
143986
Plants and animals share many characteristics, but they are different in some respects. Animals usually move around and find their own food, while plants are usually immobile and create their food via photosynthesis. Plants and animals both have cells that contain DNA, yet the structure of their cells differs.
850399
All animals and plants are made of cells. Animal cells and plant cells have features in common, such as a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane and mitochondria. Plant cells also have a cell wall, and often have chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole.

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to convert energy from the sun into usable energy for their cells. Plants use the light energy of the sun, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose (a sugar), and oxygen. The energy of the sun is captured and stored in the bonds between atoms in glucose molecules.
