What organism in the soil food chain does not obtain energy directly from plants?
protozoa
Which type of organism produces energy from sunlight?
Autotrophs gather energy directly from the sun. Herbivores eat plants.
Do all animals get their energy from plants directly?
No, refer to carnivores.
How does sunlight provide energy to all organisms?
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.
What do Nearly all living things obtain energy either directly or?
Photosynthesis gives plants energy, and when animals eat the plants, they gain energy from the plants. And, of course, when animals eat other animals, they indirectly obtain energy from the plants, which get their energy from the sun. So, the answer would be the sun.
What is the Complex interaction between plants and animals?
plants are the main food producers in a food chain and animals can get their energy from plants directly or indirectly.
Do some organisms depend on sunlight for energy?
Every organism: directly and indirectly (plants etc.)
Is solar energy important to carnivores?
yes.....solar energy is important to them because it helps in photosynthesis i.e.it helps in preparing of food for plants as well as animals. ANY ORGANISM IN THIS WORLD CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT FOOD and ANIMALS ARE INCLUDING HUMAN DEPENDS ON PLANTS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.SO IT IS ESSENTIAL.
How do plants provide energy and nutrients to other organism?
Herbivore animals eat the plants as food and carnivores eat those herbivore animals as food. Therefore, in a way, all animals depend on plants for their energy requirement.
How do predators get energy from the sun?
A carnivore does not get its energy from the sun directly. It is a secondary or tertiary consumer as part of a food chain. For example, plants get their energy from the sun, which makes them grow. These are called producers. Something then eats that plant (if edible) and that is what is known as the primary consumer, like mice eating corn. A carnivore eats animals lower on the food chains, usually the primary or secondary producers. For example, a cat would eat the mouse that ate the corn and then be a secondary consumer. A food chain is a transfer of energy from one organism to another by one eating another organism.
Why is food needed by animals?
All animals, yourself included, consume food to gain energy. Unlike plants, animals can't use sunlight to produce energy, however, by eating plants or other animals, an animal can convert the energy that organism had for its own use.
What uses energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food?
Technically, everything-we all get all of our energy from the sun. Plants convert the energy into food that we consume directly, or indirectly through the animals that eat the plants. We gain the energy from eating the plants or the animals.
