That's right.... Plants and animals actually use photosynthesis and respiration!!! Look below to see how photosynthesis and respiration effect plants and animals!!!!!!
Plants grow and let off
oxygen----->Animals
eat the plants and breathes in
oxygen------>Animals
release carbon
dioxide---->Plants
absorb carbon dioxide
----->Animals
reproduce----->Animals
die------->bacteria
decomposes dead animals
----->plants
gather nourishment from decomposed animals ----->
With the help of the sun
plants grow (and the cycle
starts over again)
For example, lets take an animal
from Traver creek and see how it specifically uses
photosynthesis and respiration!
A caddisfly larvae eats plants. It takes the glucose from the plant and makes energy out of it. With out photisynthesis all of the caddisfly larvae would die. Then, all of the things that eat the caddisfly larvae would die. Then all of the things that eat the things that eat the caddisfly larvae would die. This process would continue untill
As you can see, photosynthesis is very importiant.
You may ask how respiration fits in to this whole process of keeping things alive. To find out, CLICK HERE
