The link between the energy that carnivores get from eating to the energy captured by photosynthesis is the food chain.
It is a pretty big and unusual cycle however fairly simple to understand. A carnivore, a meat eating animal, for example a mountain lion eats herbivores, plant eating animals.The herbivores eat grasses, leaves and plants that go through the cycle photosynthesis. So they use sunlight to synthesize foods. Thus when the herbivores eats the plant they are gaining it's energy and in the next step... The carnivore eats the herbivores who have eaten the plants and thus the carnivore gains the photosynthesis' energy as well.
The link between the energy that carnivores get from eating to the energy captured by photosynthesis is that the energy the carnivores eat is produced during photosynthesis. This is why producers use photosynthesis.
Your question is a little awkward, but let's see if this helps: Each step of the food chain is about a 90% loss of biomass. 1,000 pounds of vegetables produces 100 pounds of rabbits, which supply 10 pounds of foxes and if the fox gets eaten, 1 pound of bear.
Plants are called autotrophs because they make their own food. Animals are heterotrophs because they must consume autotrophs to get food. Food is a plethora of organic molecules which are used to power cellular respiration. Cellular respiration results in the production of a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used as a universal energy unit throughout an animals body. When animals die and decompose in the ground, all those organic molecules are broken back down and returned to the earth where plants use them to grow again.
when a predator eats a prey only 10% of energy consumed by the prey is transfered.

These links are called food chains. The herbivors eat plants to get energy taped by plants during photosynthesis. The herbivors are eaten by carnivors to recycle that very energy of photosynthesis. Thus there is a link among producers (plants) and consumers (animals).
The links between the energy that carnivores get from eating each other are butts.
they use the muscle protein of the flesh, to go a reverse direction and form glucose from that.. plus the undigested food in the digestive system of the prey, also accounts for some amount of carbohydrate tht they need.

Carbon exists as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. All food chains start with plants so herbivores get carbon by eating plants and carnivores get carbon by eating herbivores.

The sun gives off energy in the form of sunlight. The sunlight is then absorbed by plants. Herbivores and first-level consumers eat the plants, therefore absorbing some of the energy. Carnivores and second-level consumers eat the herbivores, absorbing some of THEIR energy, which came from the plants in the first place!
