Yes, of course, cows and sheep use them as their main nourishment. We humans, however, can't use grass as food.
A flock of sheep are grazing in a field. As they eat, the sheep break down the molecules in the grass, which releases energy. Which form of energy is stored in the grass?
biomass apex ;)
chemical energy
Grass, like other plants, generates Energy through Photosynthesis- in other words, grass is like tiny solar panels.
A rabbit is a consumer, as it obtains its energy by eating grass and other vegetation.
It starts with the sun then autotrophs, or organism that makes its own food, such as grass, uses the energy from the sun to make food. Then heterotrophs, or organisms that can't make its own food, such as a zebra obtains energy by eating the grass and another heterotroph such as a lion obtains energy by feeding on the zebra. 1. the sun 2. autotrophs 3. heterotrophs 4. another heterotroph
It obtains carbohydrates from the grass it consumes.
Grass, plants,etc
They both get energy directly from the sun
It's a heterotroph.
Heat and light energy gets transformed as energy for the plants to grow via the process of photosynthesis. The cows eat the grass, using the grass as an energy source to live and move around. Thus the grass, though indirectly, provides a means of kinetic energy that the cows use to move around and graze in the meadow.
Yes, of course, cows and sheep use them as their main nourishment. We humans, however, can't use grass as food.
The energy transfered is in the form of chemical energy. The biomass of the grass is transferred to the goat in the form of chemical bonds. The enzymes within the goat's stomach break down the grass cellulose into simple usuable sugars. On average, only about 10% of the grass consumed is actually converted to the useable chemical energy. The rest is turned to biological waste.
Grass takes energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Therefore, the sun provides energy for grass.
A flock of sheep are grazing in a field. As they eat, the sheep break down the molecules in the grass, which releases energy. Which form of energy is stored in the grass?
Grass contains carbon which was taken out of the atmosphere by photosynthesis using the Sun's energy. The grass can be burned to recover the energy as heat.
