Question

How do plants and animals get chemical potential energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

Animals consume food to replenish energy ; their metabolism breaks down the carbohydrates,lipids,proteins, and nucleic acids to provide chemical energy for these process.

Plants convert light energy from the Sun

into chemical energy stored in molecules during the process of photosynthesis.

Answer 2

While plants take it by photosynthesis, animals take it by eating plants.

• Energy is efficiently transferred from the Sun to plants and then to specific animals. For that energy flow to naturally occur, photosynthesis is reasonably required.
• In microscopic structures called chloroplasts, photosynthesis represent the method of converting the energy by light into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
• Animals either consume plants or eat up other animals that typically consume plants to gain chemical energy in the proper form of glucose.
