Explain the cycling of matter and energy in photosynthesis - Middle School Life Science

Card 0 of 20

Question

Why are animals important to the process of photosynthesis?

Answer

The answer is: Animals breathe out carbon dioxide which is a starting material for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process where plants use energy from the sun to create their own food. This is why plants are referred to as producers. In the process of photosynthesis, the energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are converted into sugar and oxygen through chemical reactions in plant cells. Animals do not produce their own energy, but have to eat plants or other animals to stay alive. Animals breathe in the oxygen created by photosynthesis and exhale carbon dioxide as a product through their own process called cellular respiration.

Question

How do organisms get the energy they need?

Answer

The answer is: Plants use energy from sunlight to make sugar molecules. Animals get energy from eating other organisms.
