Best Answer

The suns energy is converted to sugar through photosynthesis. The plant uses this sugar to grow and create pollen

Where does the body get its energy?

The animal body gets its energy from food. Food is the fuel for body. As food is digested and consequently degraded into simpler substances, (by enzymes) energy is release with breaking up of chemical bonds of food material. This energy is stored in the cells of the body and later utilized in various works. The ultimate source of energy is sun, as plants can manufacture their food only in the presence of sunlight. Animals depend on plants in one way or another, (directly or indirectly). So the key to energy is suns radiation, its light and heat!


How does the suns energy enter the ecosystem?

the sun enters the ecosystem first. it is the most important type of energy in the world we depend on it for our plants solar power tide and to stay warm. the way it enters ecosystems is during plants photosynthesis, plants need to do photosynthesis to survive and by doing this they store up glucose which is then converted to starch and stored in the leaves. then consumers come along and eat the plant and so on and so forth creating an ecosystem until there is no energy left from the eaten plant in the ecosystem

How is nuclear energy stored once it has been recovered?

Nuclear energy is not directly stored in the traditional sense. Instead, it is converted into electricity and then stored in the electrical grid for distribution to consumers. In some cases, excess electricity generated by nuclear power plants can be stored using other energy storage systems like batteries or pumped hydro storage.

What is the relationship between the sun and the energy needed by living things?

Plants capture solar energy via photosynthesis, we eat plants which provide us with our energy. If we eat meat, say a cow then the cow got its energy to grow by eating grass which captured energy by photosynthesis. All food chains lead back to the sun.


What is the type of energy that is stored in the form of food during photosynthesis?

when plants use photosynthesis plants use the light energy from the sun (and other ingrediants) and convert it into glucose which in some plants can be stored in fruits that we eat such as vegetables or if a animal eats said plant the animal breaks down the glucose and uses it as chemical energy to use throughout their daily activities or can be stored in things such as fat but to be used later on or can be harvested and eaten and broken down by other animals to be used; however, when this happens the predator dosn't get near as much energy so would have to eat more to get the same amount of energy due to the loss of energy but is still broken down the same way


What is a way organisms make food by using suns energy?

Since this is the botany section we will use photosynthesis as the example of organisms, plants, making food from the photons of light ( the sun's energy ), carbon dioxide, water and a few trace minerals.
