By eating plants.
All animals, including lions, obtain their energy from the sun indirectly.
The role the sun plays is that it gives energy to different living organisms.
Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming other organisms, while autotrophs make their own energy through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Essentially, heterotrophs rely on external sources for energy, while autotrophs are self-sufficient in energy production.
The lion obtains energy feeding on the zebra.
The vast majority of organisms that are designated as producers (generally plants) derive their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Some exceptions to this are called extremophiles, which gain energy through chemosynthesis (such as bacteria around deep ocean vents).
Indirectly because if the zebra couldn't get energy from the sun directly and it was a heterotroph
Directly... A Zebra obtains energy directly because it is a producer.

Zebras are herbivores. This means they eat plants. Plants grow because of the light energy they take in from the sun. They use this light energy with water and chlorophyll to make sugar for themselves. When they eat the plants, this means they are also taking in light energy that the plant has taken in!

A zebra is heterotroph because it gets energy from other plants, so therefore it gets its energy indirectly from the sun.
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
From geothermal energy supplies or from the sun
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
Trees in the rainforest obtain their energy by the sunshine from the sun.
All animals, including lions, obtain their energy from the sun indirectly.
A grass grows and lives, thanks to the sun, water, and many other factors. Zebras need to eat grass to obtain energy. Lions need to eat zebras to obtain energy. [ Grass ] -> [ Zebra ] -> [ Lion ]
Indirectly, via eating plants.
