Plants get their energy from the sun, and convert said solar energy into chemical energy to fuel themselves, via photosynthesis.
autotrophs i think
No "thinking" required here: plants preceded animals by eons. The reason is energy. Plants store it; animals burn it up. The processes are called synthesis (photosynthesis, if the energy is in the form of light) and respiration. Stored energy has to be built up before it can be used. Animals get that energy from plants by eating them.
Most energy flow begins as sunlight, which is captured by plants through photosynthesis. Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which is then passed on to consumers when they eat plants or other animals that have eaten plants.
i think its from the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago.=]
photosynthesis... At least I think so.
Illinois I think, it has the most nuclear plants
the sun gives the energy to the plants, so that they will grow. then the animals (or humans) eat the plants. also, if the animal eats the plant, and we eat the animal, we are consuming that energy! its pretty simple once you think about it(:
Think of it this way. The sun is the source of energy. It is where ALL energy comes from the sun and is used by everything, however plants are the only things that can use its energy directly to make energy are plants. After that, everything uses some of the energy. Plants use the energy from the sun, then the organisms that eat the plants use some of the energy. Things that eat the things that eat the plants use more of the energy, yet receives less energy from what actually started with at the bottom. Long story short, at the "top"
Consumers get energy by eating other animals or plants, which have energy by the sun (for the plants) and animals use the plants to get energy. This means the consumer gets less energy, but without this energy, the consumer may severely suffer or die in that matter.Note- I'm glad that I could help with the answer. If you think this response is wrong, please check any website such as Google or Yahoo!.
cuz of all the things inside it.
I think you mean "chylorophyl". It is a cell structure plants use to transfer sunlight into energy.
Batteries and plants store cell energy. Humans also store cell energy until it is needed. If there was no way to save energy all cells would be used up and the body, battery or plant would be dead.
