what is the between the energy that carnivores get for eating to the energy capture by photosynthesis?

Answer 1

The energy that carnivores obtain from their diet is the chemical energy of molecules in the food. As they metabolize (oxidize) food molecules, energy is released which is trapped and temporarily stored in the form of ATP molecules.

Plants, on the other hand, absorb light. The chlorophyll and other pigment molecules in the chloroplasts absorb light, and through the processes in chloroplasts, they are able to use that light energy to produce ATP and to produce electrons that are then available for use by the cell.

Answer 2

Are you asking how MUCH energy carnivors get as opposed to plants who get energy through photosynthesis?

I'll assume that's the question, as that's what I got from it (please watch your wording and reread the question before posting!).

So plants use photosynthesis to obtain energy, and lets say that retain all 100% of that energy (slightly less because of the expenditure of energy through photosynthesis, but let's keep it simple.).

The animal that eats the plant only retains 10% of the energy the plant had. (Look in the biology section of any grade 10 or 11 general science textbook).

The animal who eats the first (so the carnivore) only retains 10% of the energy that the herbivore (the first animal) has.

The rest of the energy is lost.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

plants convert the capacity to one of those saved nutrients, like starch or sugars. Then the animals that devour those plants convert the nutrients they devour to fat. same is going for the carnivores.

Answer 4

chemical energy and heat energy.....i thinks!!!!!!
