Question

Explain how the organisms below obtain energy to power cellular processes.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is the process of using energy from the sun to produce sugar which cellular respiration then uses to create ATP

Explanation:

• Sunflower :  Photosynthesis is the process in which energy is used from the sun to produce sugar which give cellular respiration and then it uses to create ATP, this process gives energy and fuels the plant. Plant cells that obtains energy through a process is called as photosynthesis. This process uses the solar energy to convert the carbon dioxide and water from plant  into energy in the form of carbohydrates.

• Mushrooms : Mushrooms are the processed bodies of the fungi. Fungi gets their energy by getting decomposed from the dead or decaying of the organic material, such as the fallen leaves or dung. All of these organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, to release its energy, and finally make ATP.
• Beavers:  These animals get their energy by eating plants or infact other animals. Beavers eat the bark and twigs of the poplar, birch, aspen, willow and other maple trees. They also eat plants of water such as water lily and the cattail. Muskrats are animals who also eat the same food as beavers, and they also swim in a way by carrying a bunch of marsh grass so big that only their wiggling tail could be seen in water.
