Energy from the sun is transferred from plants to animals by the animal consuming the plant.

∙ 10y agoEnergy from the Sun reaches the Earth as light. Plants use light for photosyntesis as their power source to grow. Herbivores - plant eaters - then eat the plants, which had grown due to the energy from the sun. Carnivores - meat eaters - eat the plant eaters, that has eaten the plants, that has grown because of sun light.
A bit of energy - mainly warmth - the animals also gets by being in the sunlight directly.

∙ 15y agoThe energy from the sun is used in photosynthesis in plants which are eaten by a consumer (animal that eats plants; first animal ina food chain) and the energy goes from the plant to the animal and is stored in its meat. Only 1/10 is stored out of whats in the plant though. hope that helps. Ieuan x

∙ 15y agoThe animals that eat meat, get the energy from the animals that they're eating, as they will have likely eaten plants, e.g fox gets energy from rabbit, which got energy from plants, which got energy from the sun via the membrane-bound chloroplasts within their cells

∙ 9y agoFor the most part, animals get their energy from sunlight indirectly, either by eating plants (which convert sunlight into stored energy by photosynthesis) or by eating other animals that eat plants.

∙ 7y agoThrough plants. Plants trap the energy of the Sun via photosynthesis. Animals (herbivores) eat these plants and then other animals (carnivores) eat the herbivores.

What is the main source of energy for plants and animals?
ATP is an immediate source of energy for animals and all living things.
What do Nearly all living things obtain energy either directly or?
Photosynthesis gives plants energy, and when animals eat the plants, they gain energy from the plants. And, of course, when animals eat other animals, they indirectly obtain energy from the plants, which get their energy from the sun. So, the answer would be the sun.
Does your body get all its energy from sun . explain?
Yes - indirectly. We get energy from the food we eat, which comes from animals or plants; animals also get their energy from plants; and plants get the energy from sunlight.
What do all living things use to get their energy?
For Plants : Photosynthesis For animals (herbivours) : Eating plants For animals (carnivours) : Eating other animals For animals (omnivours) : Eating plants and other animals
How is the energy of the sun transferred through a food web?
The sun allow plants to photosynthesis which is to make food and grow. The plants eating animals will eat them and then the meat eating animals will eat animals. Then us humans will eat the animals and plants.
Why doesn't all the sun's energy go into animals for biomass?
Plants use some of the energy they produce from photosynthesis for their own growth and reproduction, so all of the energy they are able to gain from the sun cannot be passed on to the animals that eat plants because they use some of it themselves.
How does an animal gets energy from the sun?
Animals get energy from the sun by the chloroplasts in the animals cells. The chloroplasts capture energy from the sun and use it to produce energy to the cell and therefore, the animal.
How does energy from animals come originally from the sun?
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.
How is energy passed in food chains and food webs?
it is passed by first, the energy from the sun and passed into plants which provide nutrients.
Living things depend on energy from?
All living things depend on energy from the sun. Even though animals get their energy from either plants or from animals that eat plants, those plants get their energy from the sun, so it all comes back to the sun.
Animals get energy from the food they eat What is the original source of this energy?
The Sun.
What is the main source of energy for plants and animals?
ATP is an immediate source of energy for animals and all living things.
Energy can be passed from plant to animals?
True
How is the energy from the sun transferred from plants animals?
photosyntices Energy from the sun is transferred from plants to animals by the animal consuming the plant.
Can Energy can be passed from plant to animals?
In the food chain yes. A rabbit (animal) eats the grass (plant) and it now has the energy that it absorbed from the sun and ground. the rabbit dies and the energy is givven back to the earth.
How do plants and animals get their ENERGY?
The energy comes from the Sun.
What role does the sun play in making fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels wwwwwwwere once living plants and animals. If they were plants they got their energy from the sun, and if they were animals they got their energy from eating plants who got their energy from the sun, or from eating animals who ate animals who ate plants who got their energy from the sun. In other words the sun is the source of all energy. The sun´s energy is stored in living beings, in plants and the animals that eat the plants, and if conditions are right, that energy is then stored in the form of fossil fuels.
