Compare & Contrast C-E-R Paper Photosynthesis is the process that captures energy from sunlight and make sugars to store for chemical energy‚ whereas cellular respiration is the process that releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present. In addition‚ cellular respiration takes place in both plant and animal cells while photosynthesis only takes place in plant cells‚ but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s less important to animals in the long

are autotrophs. This is one of the main ways energy is introduced into the ecosystem from the sun to the organisms. Herbivores depend on these producers for their food and energy. Carnivores depend on the herbivores for their food and energy‚ and omnivores depend on the producers and consumers for their food and energy. A dependency can be seen as the organisms rely on one another for energy. Food webs do not only show the transferring of energy through the organisms‚ but it also shows the predator-prey
