What are organisms that are able to convert the sun's energy into usable energy?
Producers
How do photosynthetic organisms convert the sun's energy into chemical energy?
by eating food
What is the structure that captures the sun's energy when synthesizing carbohydrates?
It is the Chloroplasts, or plastids, that capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy.
What is a producer in this ecosystem?
producers are the only organisms that can take energy from the sun and convert it into carbohydrates (or sugars) so that consumers can use it. the process is called photosynthesis. without producers in an ecosystem, the ecosystem would die because there is no other way to convert energy from sunlight into carbohydrates.
How energy from the sun is transferred through organisms?
First, energy from the sun is used to combine CO2 and water to make carbohydrates. The carbohydrates have stored energy that is released when the carbohydrates are broken down. When animals eat the plant and break down the carbohydrates, they receive energy. In turn, carnivores that eat those animals receive energy from the fats and proteins in their prey.
What does the cell use energy for?
Light from the sun --> ultimate source of energyphotosynthetic organisms use light energy to undergo the synthesis of carbohydrate. This synthesis require energy.nonphotosynthetic organisms consume this carbohydrates and use them as energy sources.
What includes organisms that can directly convert energy from the sun into food?
You forgot to include "the following" in your question, but it's answerable anyway: green plants, those with chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Actually, it's not the sunlight which makes the food, it's the carbon dioxide and water in the air; the sun supplies the energy for converting these into carbohydrates.
Why is the human body unable to convert the sun's energy to carbohydrates?
The human body is unable to convert the sun's energy to carbohydrates because it has no photosynthetic structures.Plants do have such structures, called chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, which is a photosensitive chemical which transforms energy from light into chemical energy to help break water into hydrogen and oxygen, and break carbon dioxide into carbon and oxygen, so they can re-combines into assemblages of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, otherwise known as carbohydrates.
How energy passes from the sun to an earthworm?
Energy passes from the sun to an earthworm the same way it does to most organisms: through the food it eats. Earthworms eat vegetation and the fungus that grows on vegetation and thus are getting the carbohydrates, proteins and fats stored by these organisms which originally came from the sun's energy being trapped by photosynthesis.
How plant digest food?
Most plants produce food by using photosynthesis to convert sun energy water and air to carbohydrates.
Living organisms that are able to make their own food?
Plants, they take energy from the sun and convert it to simple sugars.
What energy do plants convert sun's energy into?
Plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy I hope i helped
