Where do animals (consumers) get glucose to use for energy?

Question

1. by drinking water

2. by breathing air

3. by eating plants or other animals

4. by taking in sunlight with their mitochondria

Answer 1

Hi Benjamin!

The third answer would be correct for your question. Animals are unable to make their own food through photosynthesis like plants can so the only way for animals to obtain energy is by obtaining glucose through eating food- in this case other plants and animals. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hi Benjamin!

The correct answer to your question is #3. by eating plants or other animals. Because glucose is a form of energy and animals cannot conduct photosynthesis like plants can, the only way they can obtain energy is through their food.
