How can you trace energy back to the sun?
Energy can be traced back to the sun through the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy. This energy is then passed through the food chain as animals consume plants, and further up the chain as predators consume herbivores. Additionally, solar energy influences weather patterns and drives the water cycle, impacting ecosystems and energy availability on Earth. Ultimately, nearly all energy sources, including fossil fuels, are derived from ancient solar energy captured by plants and microorganisms millions of years ago.
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
Trace the energy in a ham and cheese sandwich back to the sun?
This is the sequence of events which make a ham and cheese sandwich:Energy from the sun is absorbed by plants. These photosynthesise and grow using this energy. One of these plants is wheat.Wheat is ground to make flour. Animals eat the other plants. These animals include pigs and cows. Eating the plants transfers the energy from the plants to the animals.The ham comes from the pig. The cow produces milk, which is turned into cheese. The bread is made from the flower.
What animals cannot trace the origin of their energy back to plants?
Animals that feed on other animals exclusively, such as carnivores and some omnivores, cannot trace the origin of their energy back to plants. Instead, their energy comes from consuming other animals that have already converted plant energy into their own tissues.
What is a way organisms make food by using suns energy?
Since this is the botany section we will use photosynthesis as the example of organisms, plants, making food from the photons of light ( the sun's energy ), carbon dioxide, water and a few trace minerals.
Trace the path by which energy from the sun evetually reaches your muscle and allows movement?
Energy from the sun is captured by plants during photosynthesis to produce glucose. Consumers then eat plants or other organisms that have consumed plants, obtaining energy from the glucose through cellular respiration. This energy is used by muscles during movement.
Do plants use sunlights to make food?
No, they don't; they require water, carbon dioxide, trace nutrients, regular extended periods of darkness AND sunlight to make food. ____________________________________________________________________ Yes they do.
How does the energy trace from the sun to the animals at the top of the food web?
The sun goes into plants, and then to grasshoppers/small mammals, then it keeps going up 10% of each energy on the way.
What is essential for plants to produce their own food?
Light energy, water, carbon dioxide and a few trace minerals and ions taken in with the water.
How would you trace the connection between wind energy or heat energy(given off from burning wood) to the sun?
Wind energy is indirectly connected to the sun because wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. Heat energy from burning wood can be traced back to the sun as well, as the wood is formed from trees that grow using sunlight through photosynthesis. In both cases, the sun provides the initial energy source that is transformed into the energy we harness.
What is the most abundant energy source on your planet?
The sun. All energy on earth is somehow derived from it. With any energy you can trace it bakc to the sun like we eat some fruit we get that from a plant which gets the energy from the sun to make it grow.
Why is the angle of the rays of sunlight so important in determining the amount of energy collected by the Earth?
Here's an experiment that will explain this....Take a piece of cardboard and shine a flashlight at it.Hold the cardboard perpendicular to the barrel of the flashlight and it will form a perfect circle of light. Trace the outline of this circle with a pen.Now hold the cardboard at an angle to the barrel of the flashlight, so that its midpoint is at the same distance from the light as before...the light will now form a ellipse on the cardboard... trace that ellipse.IF you looked carefully, you will note that the ellipse was not as bright looking as the circle, but in comparing the two tracings you will see that the ellipse is larger than the circle... it covers a greater area of the cardboard.The same amount of light energy was coming out of the flashlight, but it was spread over a larger area when the card was tilted at an angle.When you divide the same energy into a larger area, the incident energy per unit of area falls.Ice-caps form at the poles because the surface of the poles is so strongly inclined to the incident sunlight.And the Tropics are those parts of the earth where the sun can actually hit the surface perpendicular to that surface.
