how do organisms utilize the stored energy from green plants
in autraph
This energy is stored in glucose. Plants synthesize many things using glucose energy. Other organisms consume plants basically
The only organisms that can directly convert sunlight into energy are plants. Plants intake solar light and, through a series of complex chemical reactions, produce food and stored energy. This energy travels along the food chain as plants are eaten by animals, and animals by other animals. However, as each organism consumes the one before it, only about 10% of consumed organism's energy is transferred.
Solar energy is stored in living organisms through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which can be stored as starch or cellulose. Animals, including humans, then obtain this stored energy by consuming plants or plant-eating animals.
Energy stored from dead organisms can be used in two ways. They can either be eaten by other organisms or decomposed by bacteria with the nutrients absorbed in the soil to be used by plants.
Ultimately all organisms depend on sunlight - plants use it for photosynthesis, consequently anything consuming plants relies on it indirectly and anything that then consumes those animals that eat the plants then (again) ultimately relies on the energy of the Sun.
Plants! :D
The ultimate source of energy for most organisms is the Sun. This energy is captured by plants through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in sugars. Other organisms then consume these plants (or organisms that eat the plants) to obtain energy and nutrients.
Plants, such as green plants, algae, and some bacteria, are the organisms that supply almost all the energy for the rest of us through the process of photosynthesis. They capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in molecules that other organisms can use as food.
Glycogen is the stored carbohydrate in animals just as starch is the stored carbohydrate in plants. Both serve as a source of energy when needed by the organisms.
Organisms such as plants, algae, and some bacteria are capable of photosynthesis, a process that converts sunlight into energy through the production of glucose. This energy is then stored and used for various metabolic processes within the organism.
