Explain why animals food and energy can be traced back to plants and the sun?

Plants need the energy from the sun to grow. The small animals, such as rabbits, eat these plants to grow. Meat eaters such as hawks, prey on these rabitts, therefore connects hawks to the sun.
Because the hawks eat the rabbits, who eat plants, who use the sun... the hawks are inderrectly dependent on the sun's enegy. Even humans are in need of the sun, as vegetariands eat plants, and omnivors eat cows, who eat plants. Therfore, every living being on this plant is dependent on the suns energy in one way or another.

∙ 15y agocause when a animal needs food it sometimes eats planet and it needs sunlight to find the food that is why plants and the sun is traced to animals's food and energy

Explain how most energy used on earth can be traced back to the sun?
Photoautotrophs (mostly) are the only organisms which can produce their own food using the energy from the Sun. All other organisms either have to eat plants (primary consumers) or eat animals that eat plants (secondary consumers). There are relatively few tertiary consumers.
What energy form cannot be traced back to sun?
Geothermal energy and nuclear energy cannot be traced back to the sun.
Why is the sun called the ultimate source of energyExplain?
Almost all energy sources can be traced back to the sun. For example: coal comes from fossilized plants, the plants grew using energy from the sun. Sun provides the energy for evaporation to occur, so that rain can fall, so that rivers can flow, the energy from flowing rivers can be used to produce electricity
What is the energy source that cannot be traced back to the sun?
easy,energy from the food,coal and elastic band
Is wind solar energy?
It is not counted as solar energy, but all energy sources other than geothermal can ultimately be traced back to the sun.
An animal that eats plants and animals how is it traced back to plants?
A.TigersB.Field miceC.InsectsD.All animals trace their energy back to the Sun

Infer how the energy used by many living things on earth can be traced back to sunlight.?
Many living things can be traced back to sunlight because plants uses sunlight for energy, animals eats that plant getting that energy, than a human eats that animal getting all the energy.
How can the energy used by many living things on Earth can be traced back to sunlight?
Plants need sunlight to produce sugars which they use for their nutrition. Then herbivore animals eat the plant to get energy and after that the carnivore animals eat the herbivore animals for the same reason. The energy of sunlight has traveled through plants, herbivores and carnivores, for example to humans who eat other animals.
What energy cannot be traced back to sun?
Geothermal energy and nuclear energy cannot be traced back to the sun.
How can energy a fox ate be traced back to the sun?
how can energy a fox ate be traced back to the sun
What energy form cannot be traced back to sun?
Geothermal energy and nuclear energy cannot be traced back to the sun.
How most energy used on the earth can be traced back to the sun?
plants use photosynthesis to make energy. animals eat those plants. humans eat those animals. it all works out:)
True or false All energy on earth can be traced back to the sun?
no, because batteries are energy and that type of energy is not traced back to the sun.
How the tomato plant can be traced back to the sun?
The most obvious answer is that Tomato plants have to photosynthesise using in part energy from the sun. If they did not have this energy from the sun and photosynthesis the plant would not be able to grow. Another way a tomato plant can be traced back to the sun is that when the earth was created it was essentially spat out by the sun. In this way all tomato plants are made of matter that was once part of the sun.

Can all food be traced to animals?
no, have you ever ate a nut?
