How do plants use energy from the sun?
It's called photosynthesis.
Does your body need plants for energy why and why not?
Yes, because plants are able to capture light energy from the sun and change it into food through a process called photosynthesis. The food that plants make supplies them with energy and also becomes a source of energy for the organisms that eat the plants. (We eat plants.) Without plants and other producers, consumers would not be able to live.
How do cyanobacteria get energy?
Cyanobacteria have the same green pigment that plants have, chlorophyll, and use it to make energy.
What organisms that make their own food for energy?
I would say a plant, i mean it does photosynthesis but does not consume anything. If not mitochondria are the parts of our cells that make energy.Supplementary answerActually although plants (green ones only) do photosynthesise compounds, they also consume stuff. That's why it's a good idea to ensure that they have fertiliser, or that the ground is fertile. And non-green plants (e.g. fungi) don't photosynthesise anyway. They need chlorophyll to be able to do that.Organisms that make their own food are plants. They are called producers. They use a process called photosynthesis. In the process, plants mix water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight, to make sugar, their food.
Which substance allows algae to harvest and use the energy from sunlight?
Some algae have chloroplasts and chlorophyll and obtain their energy through photosynthesis while some algae like euglena are both heterotrophic (decompose dead organic matter) and autotrophic (use photosynthesis) and can also obtain energy likewise. Hope I helped.
Where do producers get the energy they need to live?
They get their energy from photosynthesis.
What energy is need for photosynthesis to occur?
Sunlight
Why is photosynthesis so important to producers?
its important because when photosynthesis is in effect it gives off oxygen and oxygen is what we need to live on earth
How do producers get the energy to make their own food?
Producers get their energy from photosynthesis.
How much light do herbs need for photosynthesis and growth to occur?
. How much light (sunlight) do herbs need for photosynthesis and growth to occur?
Why does photosynthesis occur in plants?
They perform photosynthesis because plants need photosynthesis to grow and develop . All living organisms need energy to live and photosynthesis uses sunlight energy to make natural food for plants .
What process photosynthesis or aerobic respiration your body use to get the energy for running or riding a bike?
aerobic respiration. You need sun for photosynthesis to occur
Why does photosynthesis need sunlight?
For energy
Why does photosynthesis not happen in the root of a plant?
Roots are underground so they don't get any energy from sunlight they need for photosynthesis.
Does photosynthesis not occur in absence of light?
Photosynthesis would not occur because plants need sunlight in order to live. Sunlight is converted into the chemical energy that plants can use for growing, reproduction, etc. Without light, plants can't gain enough energy.
What are the raw materials need for photosynthesis to occur?
water and sunlight
What energy does a plant need or have?
Solar energy converted in to chemical energy by photosynthesis
