Human photosynthesis doesn’t exist; we must farm, slaughter, cook, chew and digest — efforts that require time and calories to accomplish. As the human population grows, so does the demand for agricultural goods. Not only are our bodies expending energy, but so are the farm machines we use to make food.

Plants, algae and many species of bacteria can make their own sustenance through the process of photosynthesis. They harness sunlight to drive the chemical reactions in their bodies that produce sugars. As a rule, animals cannot photosynthesise, but all rules have exceptions.

Photosynthesis occurs in green plants, seaweeds, algae, and certain bacteria. Moreover, the oxygen humans and other animals breathe is the oxygen released during photosynthesis. Humans are also dependent on ancient products of photosynthesis, known as fossil fuels, for supplying most of our modern industrial energy.

Animals need to get their energy from other living things, but in order to do that said other living things need to have energy for the animals to get. Photosynthesis is the means by which plants and algae get their energy. Animals also need elemental oxygen,and photosynthesis produces this as a waste product as well.

Originally Answered: Why can’t animals photosynthesize? Photosynthesis is a very low energy process, animals just cannot exist on such low energy resources. If your entire skin was photosynthetic the energy produced would be sufficient to maintain the efficient operation of one of your thumbs.

This process is called photosynthesis and is performed by all plants, algae, and even some microorganisms. To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

What would the world look like if humans could photosynthesize? The world would be very green. To be able to photosynthesize, an organism needs chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are tiny, tiny organelles that are filled with, well, chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment that captures and converts energy from the Sun.

No. Oxygen levels in water are much lower than in air, and gills are not a very efficient means of extracting it. Gills couldn’t provide the body with oxygen fast enough to support the high metabolic rate that we and other mammals have. If it weren’t for air breathing, there would be no mammals (or birds) at all.

For humans, oxygen is essential – it helps your body cells create energy. On average, we inhale oxygen 16 times a minute. If only we could take a deep breath underwater… Turns out, just having the ability to pull oxygen out of the water wouldn’t be enough to turn you into a full-time aquatic resident.

Without photosynthesis there would be no supply of oxygen and slowly the oxygen would get used up by oxidation such as rust formation. Furthermore, by removing plants, all of the many many animals that depend on plants would get very very hungry and gradually die.

Most plants make their own food by photosynthesis. If they stopped, they would die! If most plants die, animals that rely on such plants for food will also die. Eventually, all herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores will die.

Plants benefit from this directly because they use photosynthesis to make the glucose molecules that are their food sources. Animals benefit indirectly because they, too, must have sources of food. Animals either eat plants to obtain chemical energy in the form of glucose or they eat other animals that ate plants.

Answer. the basic difference In a one thing that plants can do but animals cannot is , plant can ake their own food by photosynthesis which is not possible for animals.

Scenario: Plants survive on their own because they make their own food. Animals can’t survive on their own but need plants for survival. Are combustion and fossil fuel due to human activity?

Some animals are prey and provide food to predators. Insects and zooplankton are food sources. Animals help plants by helping pollinate flowers or by dispersing seed. They also help supply nutrients when they die and decompose.

Photosynthetic organisms take light energy and use it to make their own “food”. In this process they use carbon dioxide and light to make sugars and oxygen. This is great for other animals that utilize this oxygen and eat the plants for food.

4 Incredible Photosynthetic Animals

• Sea Slug – Elysia chlorotica. The first of these amazing photosynthetic animals is a sea slug, Elysia chlorotica, which effectively steals genes from the algae that makes up its diet.
• Spotted Salamander – Ambystoma maculatum.
• Oriental Hornet – Vespa orientalis.

ANSWER: While misting some indoor plants can have benefits for their health, you should not follow the same guidelines with tomato plants or other plants in your outdoor garden. Misting the leaves of these plants would lead to excess moisture, which can cause fungal diseases, rot, and other potentially fatal issues.

Water newly planted tomatoes well to make sure soil is moist and ideal for growing. Early in the growing season, watering plants daily in the morning. As temperatures increase, you might need to water tomato plants twice a day. Garden tomatoes typically require 1-2 inches of water a week.

When temps consistently hit the 95-degree range, tomatoes tend to stop producing red pigments, which means typically red fruits may instead ripen to orange. When high heat lingers with days above 100°F and nights over 80°F, most tomato ripening stops altogether.
