Plants use the sun´s energy (the energy in photons, light particles) to synthesize glucose from smaller chemical particles. They eventually use glucose to grow. Herbivores eat the plants and take up the energy in their cells, and use it to grow themselves. Carnivores may eat the herbivores and do the same.

∙ 11y agothe sun helps grow plants and then the herbivores eat plants then the carnivores eat the herbivores and the energy all came from the sun

Why doesn't all the sun's energy go into animals for biomass?
Plants use some of the energy they produce from photosynthesis for their own growth and reproduction, so all of the energy they are able to gain from the sun cannot be passed on to the animals that eat plants because they use some of it themselves.
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.
How does energy from animals come originally from the sun?
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.
How is energy passed in food chains and food webs?
it is passed by first, the energy from the sun and passed into plants which provide nutrients.
Living things depend on energy from?
All living things depend on energy from the sun. Even though animals get their energy from either plants or from animals that eat plants, those plants get their energy from the sun, so it all comes back to the sun.
What is the main source of energy for plants and animals?
ATP is an immediate source of energy for animals and all living things.
Animals get energy from the food they eat What is the original source of this energy?
The Sun.
Energy can be passed from plant to animals?
True
Can Energy can be passed from plant to animals?
In the food chain yes. A rabbit (animal) eats the grass (plant) and it now has the energy that it absorbed from the sun and ground. the rabbit dies and the energy is givven back to the earth.
How is the energy from the sun transferred from plants animals?
photosyntices Energy from the sun is transferred from plants to animals by the animal consuming the plant.
How do plants and animals get their ENERGY?
The energy comes from the Sun.
What role does the sun play in making fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels wwwwwwwere once living plants and animals. If they were plants they got their energy from the sun, and if they were animals they got their energy from eating plants who got their energy from the sun, or from eating animals who ate animals who ate plants who got their energy from the sun. In other words the sun is the source of all energy. The sun´s energy is stored in living beings, in plants and the animals that eat the plants, and if conditions are right, that energy is then stored in the form of fossil fuels.
