It has been said that animals can't exist without plants but that plants could exist without animals.?

Question

Which statement best describes this statement?

this statement is incorrect because the animals must supply the detritus for the decomposition process that supports plants
b. this statement is incorrect because animals produce the carbon dioxide that plants use in photosynthesis
c. plants can't reproduce without the energy of animals, and animals cannot reproduce without the energy of plants
d. plants are able to convert sun energy into food energy and animals generally cannot do this
e. animals cannot survive without eating plants, but plants can survive alone

i thought it was b but it is apparently incorrect forgot to put a possible answer

a. this statement is incorrect because the animals must supply the detritus for the decomposition process that supports plants

Answer 1

think it's A, plants somewhat depend on animals for the aerobic and anaerobic decomposition of nutrients which is needed by the plants. Remember plants need different nutrients.

Answer 2

It's D.

As much as animals decompose and give so many nutrients to plants it is possible for them to survive without animals although we would be a big help to them.

But the answer is D because plants can make energy through the sun through photosynthesis, that's basic plant biology for you. Therefore any organism that makes its own food is called a producer. Organisms that can't make their own food are called consumers and all animals are consumers. When you think about almost everything we eat as food is somehow made by plants. Even if you eat, say, ground beef from cattle they graze on grass and grains. The sea's main food supply is plants (and partially bacteria) so there's plants that make up and support fish as well. Without plants the animal kingdom would be in for a huge jolt but I do think that it could be possible for the animal kingdom to survive if we can adapt correctly by eating various kinds of fungus or if we can somehow make a food source from bacteria.

Answer 3

The statement that best describes the statement is d and e are the right answer both support each other. this is
because most plants use the process of photosysthesis and this allows the plant to make it own food. It take Co2 from the atmosthere and water from the soil with the combination of chrolopyll( found in the leaves the green or coloured stuffs) and sun light and produces the end product of sugar and oxygen. this is what would allow the plant to survive and not animal which depends on other organisms to survive. plant can survive once these factors not be removed from earth. the minerals would come from the soil when older plants die and hence there is really the only conclution to come at plant will survive whether animals are on the planets.

Answer 4

Plants could survive by themselves. They are autotrophes, and so are not dependent on other organisms for food. They get their nutrients from the ground (replenishable by plants decomposed by bacteria) and from the air (carbon dioxide). Most of the carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere is released by fires and volcanic activity, not animals.

Many specific plants are dependent on animals to spread their seeds and carry out other symbiotic functions, but plants in general don't need animals.

Answer 5

Basic plants, the plant cells that first appeared on this planet CAN exist without animals. They DO NOT require nitrogen fixation by bacteria which are later life forms and the progenitors of animals. Basic plants, usually one celled, can produce from sunlight and a nitrogen oxygen mixture all the carbohydrate foods, enzymes, fats and structural proteins that they need to survive. Very large plants probably rely on nitrogen fixation by bacteria to a greater extent in the synthesis of their proteins.

So, we need them, they can do very well without us.

Answer 6

no longer mandatory that each and each flora could exist in the worldwide without animals considering because of the fact many flora desires bugs/animals for their pollination, that's between the significant key to end their existence cycle yet sure, some plant can exist without animals.................. on the vice versa animals can no longer exist without flora considering flora are no longer in basic terms the source of oxygen yet in addition are at customary point in any meals chain.

Answer 7

I'm fairly sure it's A. You fertilize plants to get them to grow and fertilizer is made of animal waste.

Answer 8

a- no-plant also decay and can contribute to detitus matter
b. no- plant also can produce co2 (through respiration)
c. no- plant use solar energy (mainly) for energy through photosynthesis
e. no- carnivores can survive (for short term)

i belive the answer is d

Answer 9

I believe the last is correct, but it depends--insects are vital to some plants reproduction--so were insects to be considered as animals?

Answer 10

F. none of the above. Plants could not survive without seminal dispersal through ingestion and excretion.
