They use this in the process of photosynthesis to make energy (ATP) in cellular respiration.
photosynthesis
photosynthesis
Animals get the glucose in their cells through plants. They obtain the glucose by eating the plants and absorbing their glucose and energy.
Animal cells share a fundamental similarity as opposed to plants. Animal cells use cellular respiration through burning glucose with oxygen. In contrast plants take in carbon dioxide and sunlight to create energy via photosynthesis.
Oxygen
Plants produce glucose by a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy to build up glucose, which the plant stores in the form of long chains of starch.
Plants and other organisms that rely solely on photosynthesis.
Plant cells gain glucose by absorbing water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and then through the chemical reaction photosynthesis make the glucose. Animal cells gain glucose by taking in oxygen and sugars containing the glucose made by plants.
Respiration occurs in both animal and plant cells but photosynthesis occurs in plant cells. Respiration is defined as the oxidation of glucose to release energy, both plant and animal cells respire glucose.
Mitochondria in animal cells convert energy into forms the animal cell can use whereas photosynthesis is the process plants use involving chloroplasts that convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into glucose, energy and oxygen.
The principle storage molecule for glucose in plants is starch . The principle storage molecule for glucose in animal cells is glycogen.
Oxygen, ATP, a relatively warm (but not hot) temperature. A relatively neutral pH. Glucose.
