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.
In the day, the sun is up. In the night, the sun is down.It all has to do with the Earth's rotation
Humans can't get energy directly from the sun, they get it indirectly via plants.Plants fix the energy from the sun by photosynthesis; this enables them to grow & become food.Humans eat the plants, or eat the herbivores (e.g. beef cattle) which have grown & produced meat by eating the plants.So you could say that the solar energy that humans obtain is either 2nd or 3rd hand.
With few exceptions, the origin from which all organisms on earth get their energy is the sun.
all energy on Earth ultimately comes from the sun.
Biomass gets its energy from the sun. All organic matter contains stored energy from the sun. During a process called photosynthesis, sunlight gives plants the energy they need to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and sugars. The sugars, called carbohydrates, supply plants (or the animals that eat plants) with energy. Foods rich in carbohydrates (like spaghetti) are a good source of energy for the human body!
Sun is the source of heat and light energy. It provides energy on earth's surface.
Only a small fraction of the sun's energy reaches the Earth. However, this energy is enough to power the wind, plant growth, and the water cycle. So nearly all renewable energy comes directly or indirectly from the sun.
The body's energys' only bi-product is heat. The sun does not absorb heat. Therefore the body's energy does not go back into the sun.
Heterotrophs get their energy from the sun indirectly. This because they eat autotrophs who make their energy using the sun.
The source of all energy is the Sun.
While it is true that human beings need the sun, and we also need oxygen to survive, the main source of energy for humans is the food we eat.
Almost all energy originates with the Sun.
When you are getting hot in the sunlight, the energy from the sun is being absorbed by your skin. This energy is then converted into heat, raising your body's temperature.
In Cellular Respiration, we get energy from the plants and animals we consume. So we indirectly obtain energy from the sun.
Protein in muscle cells but only when the body is in a very malnourished state. Check out http://www.cobr.co.uk/e-cobr_information/t_and_r_section/sections/nutrition/Main%20energy%20sources.shtml
for all intents and purposes, the sun is the only solar energy there is.
Living things can get energy from the sun directly through photosynthesis, where plants and some microorganisms convert sunlight into chemical energy. Indirectly, organisms can obtain sun-derived energy by consuming other organisms that have stored this energy through the food chain. This energy transfer sustains all life on Earth.
