Two ways.
Eating plants that access the energy of sunlight directly.
or,
Eating the animals that eat the plants, or eating the animals that eat the animals that eat the plants.
All animals are heterotrophs. They can not synthesize their own food.

How do animals use solar energy?
Animals use solar energy by:Eating vegetation that has used solar energy to grow (photosynthesis)Eating other animals that have eaten vegetation.Using the sun's warmth to survive. This is especially true of cold-blooded animals like reptiles.animals use energy from the sun for their life.
What role does the sun play in how animals obtain their energy?
The role the sun plays is that it gives energy to different living organisms.
Does a lion obtain energy directly from the sun or indirectly?
All animals, including lions, obtain their energy from the sun indirectly.
Defend the following statement A lion gets its energy from the sun?
A lion does not get its energy directly from the Sun, but it does indirectly. Plants that grow in the sunlight are eaten by foraging animals, which are then eaten by the lion.
Why do people capture animals?
People who capture animals are known as hunters and they hunt different species of animals for different reasons. Such has hunting elephants for their tusks etc..
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.
What function do chloroplasts perform in protists producer?
Capture energy from the sun
The process by which a cell captures the energy in sunlight?
Plant cells use chloroplast- animals don't capture energy.
Where does energy in your food originally come from?
Energy in food comes from the sun. The sun is the source of energy in all food, because at some level in the food chain animals rely on animals that eat plants and plants derive their energy from the sun.
Why dosent an animal cell have chloroplasts?
because chloroplasts are organelles that capture the energy from sun light and convert it into chemical energy in a process call photosynthesis. and animals cant do that.
What is a snakes photosynthesis?
No. Plants use photosynthesis to capture energy from the sun. Snimals cannot photosynthesize. Snakes use the heat of the sun to warm themselves, but they obtain the energy they need to live by eating other animals.
Does chlorophyll capture energy from the sun for photosynthesis?
Yes! The chlorophyll captures the sun's energy and uses it for photosynthesis.
What part of your body capture energy from the sun?
Any part of the body where skin is exposed will capture ultraviolet and infrared energy
What are these panels used for?
capture energy from the sun:)
What is the energy for this process of chloroplasts?
Light energy from sun is used. Chlorophylls capture light energy
Is solar energy created in power plants?
No, solar energy is produced by the sun. We can capture it with solar panels, or solar farms, which are banks of panels or other gadgets to capture the sun's heat and energy. We can then transform this into electricity.
How does solar panels help the environment?
capture energy from the sun
