﻿﻿Formation Of Energy In Plants & Animals
﻿ By Bryce And Shalynn



Used For: ﻿~ When plants and animals eat food it is broken down in their stomachs by acids and enzymes. When it is broken down it gives off carbohydrates (sugars and startches), then they are broken down and it is released into the blood stream and the energy is used.

﻿Equation:
~ ﻿﻿Animals:  glucose = lactic acid + ENERGY C6H12O6 = 2C3H6O3 + ENERGY

~ Plants:  ﻿ glucose = carbon dioxide + ethanol (alcohol) + ENERGY C6H12O6 = 2CO2 + 2C2H5OH + ENERGY

Types Of Reactions :
~ The reaction that happens, is that the acid is breaking down the foods and creating nutrients for the plant or animal. this would be like photosynthesis, or human digestion it then creates energy for the plant or animal to grow and survive.

Most Important Because:
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">~ Formation of energy in plants and animals is most important because it allows them to grow and live. If a plant or animal didn't have energy then it wouldn't be able to grow or even survive, and if the world didnt have plants or animals, us humans wouldn't have any oxygen because the plants are what make us oxygen. Also if the animals such as bee's or birds, moose, or any plant eating animals our earth would be over populated with plants, therefore the formation of energy in plants and animals is very important becuase it is part of the natural earth cycle, of growing and dieing.
