How can energy flow between plants and animals?

Answer 1

In it's simplest form:

Herbivorous animals, normally at the lower end of the food chain, consume and digest plant life to give them energy.

When animals die and decay into the ground, plant life can use the minerals and vitamins contained within for energy purposes.

Also, the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen for use in respiration and photosynthesis is a further element of the "flow" of energy between the two

Hope this helps

Answer 2

The plants take energy from the sunlight through photosynthesis which the plant uses in other aspects and the animals..who I may say are obviously herbivorous eat the plants and take in the energy that the plants have.

Answer 3

All energy is absorbed by plants from the sun .Through your body chemistry u get the sun's energy out. If plants don't make it neither do us.

Answer 4

yes the animal eats the plant hance the animal recieves energy and when the animal breathes the plants suck the co2 and turn it into oxygen with a aprocess known as photosynthesis

Answer 5

plants absorb the energy from the sun, and turn it into sugars, which they store for energy. animals eat the plants, and digest the sugars. animals then turn it into fat, whch they use to store energy.
