PLEASE HELP In this activity, you’ll write a 1,000- to 1,250-word research paper using word-processing software. You'll choose two photosynthesizing animals to research, explain the process each uses to perform photosynthesis, and explain why each fits the definition of animal. You’ll then explain why the discovery of these animals is important to science.

Here are some sample questions to get you started:

What is the definition of an animal?
Why can’t all animals perform photosynthesis?
What are two examples of photosynthesizing animals?
How do these animals carry out the process of photosynthesis?
Are they born to carry out photosynthesis or do they develop the ability over their life span?
Do these animals eat in addition to carrying out photosynthesis?
What are the similarities and differences between these animals?
Why is the ability to perform photosynthesis an advantage to these animals?
How does the discovery of the animals further scientists’ understanding of the relationships between plants and animals?

The 2 Animals are a Sea Slug and a Spotted Salamander

1. A living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.

2. “Animals need a lot of energy, and moving at all doesn't really jive well with photosynthesis,” says Agapakis. “If you imagine a person who had to get all of their energy from the sun, they'd have to be very still. Then, they'd need a high surface area, with leafy protrusions.

3. 3 Incredible Photosynthetic Animals (So you can chose, and thers many more!)

Sea Slug - Elysia chlorotica. The first of these amazing photosynthetic animals is a sea slug, which effectively steals genes from the algae that makes up its diet.

Spotted Salamander - Ambystoma maculatum. Ironically, the spotted salamander is not a new species for researchers, and it has long been known that the animal's embryos share a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae. The color usually indicates the presence of chlorophyll, which is the light-absorbing green pigment that makes photosynthesis possible.

5. The Spotted Salamander is born with the ability to use photosynthesis, while the Sea slug develops it over time.

6. As larvae, spotted salamanders eat insects, small crustaceans, and other aquatic invertebrates. Adults have a sticky tongue to catch earthworms, snails, spiders, centipedes, and other invertebrates they find on the forest floor, while Sea Slugs eat plankton, algae, and jellyfish that are all prey of these animals. Some of these animals are herbivores eating algae and other plant life off rocks.
