What organisms use solar energy to make energy?

Is a algae a living thing or nonliving thing?
Yes! It is a plant-like protist. Algae are organisms similar to plants.They are photosynthetic autotrophs (i.e) they are living organisms which synthesize their own food with the help of solar energy which they capture through special pigments(mainly chlorophyll) present in them
The ultimate source of all the food you eat and the oxygen you breathe is?
That would be the sun. Even the microbes and other organisms living at the bottom of the ocean, where the sun don't shine, derive energy from the hot subterranean outflows and chemical compounds which originally absorbed solar energy.
What is BIOENERGetics?
It is the quantitative study of the energy relationships and energy conversions in biological systems. All organisms need free energy to keep themselves alive and functioning. The source of energy is just one; solar energy. Only plants use that energy directly. What the organisms use is the chemical energy in the form of foods. The very first conversion of solar energy into a chemical energy is the sugar molecule. On one side the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy with the help of photosynthesis happens, and on the other hand this photosynthesis makes it possible with the passage of time on earth to accumulate free oxygen in the earth's atmosphere making possible the evolution of respiration. Respiration is important for bioenergetics as it stores the energy to form a molecule ATP; adenosine triphosphate. This molecule is a link between catabolism and anabolisms. The process of photosynthesis is helpful in understanding the principles of energy conversion i.e. bioenergetics. Photosynthetic organisms and plants capture solar energy and synthesize organic compounds. It is a way of energy input. Energy stored in these organic compounds that are mainly sugars can be used later as a source of energy. Photosynthesis after respiration provides glycolysis, a major substrate, and later this glycolysis with further respiration provides energy in very controlled processes. So respiration and photosynthesis are the main processes dealing with bioenergetics.
What provides the energy for chlorophyll to manufacture food?
The energy is the light shining on the chloroplast.Light is a form of energy, and the special contribution of the chlorophylls to ecosystems is that they are able to convert light, which cannot be stored, into chemical energy, which can be stored. This chemical energy drives the synthesis of carbohydrates, which are energy-rich organic compounds, from the inorganic compounds carbon dioxide and water.
How is solar energy stored energy?
Solar energy, whether heat or light, is not stored energy. It is radiant energy. It needs to be converted in order to store it. Plants produce glucose, which stores it as chemical energy. Solar heat installations usually store it as heat in a fluid. Solar electric installations produce current electricity, which can be stored in various ways including batteries and pumped water storage.
How is solar energy stored for later?
Solar Energy Is Stored For Later In A Photovoltaic Cell
Chemical energy stored in living things?
Living organisms have the ability to store energy in many different forms. To store solar energy, living organisms create carbohydrates for their storage needs.
How does burning any kind of fuel turn solar energy into thermal energy?
Fossil fuels come from long dead living organisms that have been put under pressure for millions of years. The living organisms once grew and needed the Sun like every living organism to grow. Therefore, when we burn fossil fuels were turning solar energy into thermal energy.
What are solar thermal energy?
it is the energy stored in batteries
How do you store solar energy?
The solar planar cells on the earth receive the solar energy from sun and this energy can be stored in batteries
How can electricity be derived from solar cells?
Solar cells have stored solar energy that is converted into electrical energy.
What is energy stored in light rays?
solar energy or sun energy
What is is the energy used in photosynthesis?
Solar energy is used.That energy is stored in glucose

What happens to solar energy not stored by primary producers?
Around 90% of the total solar energy is used by the producers for food manufacture, growth, reproduction, and survival. The solar energy that is not stored by primary producers is lost as heat.
Where is solar energy stored?
inside solar pannelsif that is used otherwise it is in the sun
