Can all consumers get their energy directly from the sun?
No
How do consumers get their energy directly and indirectly from the sun?
Because they like sun food!(:
Where does energy in your food originally come from?
Energy in food comes from the sun. The sun is the source of energy in all food, because at some level in the food chain animals rely on animals that eat plants and plants derive their energy from the sun.
Do consumers get their energy from consumers?
It depends. When animals get produced, they are soon to be consumed by another bigger and stronger animal, but energy pyramids always start off by getting their energy from the sun.
Why can't rely on solar power?
You CAN rely on solar energy. It is VERY powerful and it's unlimited. In about 45 minutes, the sun delivers enough energy to power all the machines on earth for a year. The only problems are that solar panels are expensive, even though they cut down your bills and eventually pay for themselves, and we can't harness all the sun's energy yet.
How do some producers and consumers each rely light from the sun?
The majority of producers (eg green plants) rely on the sun's energy to produce food. Primary consumers eat plants so in an indirect way the consumers are also relying on the sun's energy for their food
How do some producers and consumers each rely on light from sun?
Ethier by solar power or some other ways that i forget Consumers eat producers, plants. Plants make food by using the sun. So, the sun is the main source for all energy.
Do consumers get energy indirectly from the sun?
Yes, consumers indirectly get energy from the sun through various processes. The sun's energy is captured by plants during photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy stored in the form of carbohydrates. Consumers then obtain this energy by consuming plants or other organisms that have consumed plants.
Is there anything on earth that does not rely on the sun?
All living things rely, ultimately, on the sun's energy.
Which of these groups CANNOT harvest energy from the sun?
Primary and secondary consumers cannot harvest energy from the sun. These consumers must eat producers to gain the sun's energy indirectly.
How does light energy from the sun eventually reach the decomposers?
Light to green plants ---> photosynthesis to make sugars which are used or stored.Primary consumers eat plants and use the stored energy as energy for growth, movement etc.Secondary consumers eat primary consumers and turn their stored energy into usable energy.Plants, primary consumers, secondary consumers (and the rest) die and are consumed by decomposers who take the stored nutrients and, well, decompose them.The fact that every living thing relies on plant material as a starting point for nutrition, and plants rely on the sun to create that nutrition should answer your question.
Can all consumers get their energy directly from the sun?
No
Where do producers consumers an decomposers obtain energy?
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
Why is the sun important to both producers and consumers?
producers make energy from the sun and then consumers eat the producers, ex: a plant (producer) uses photosynthesis and the sun to make energy then a bunny (consumer) eats the plant for energy. so the sun is the source of energy
How is energy transferred through a food chain?
10% or the energy of THE SUN is transferred. 1 tertiary consumers 10 secondary consumers 100 primary consumers 1000 producers 10000 sun
How do consumers get their energy directly and indirectly from the sun?
Because they like sun food!(:
Why is the sun the most important source of energy?
Because almost all processes occurring on the surface of the earth rely on the sun as their ultimate source of energy. The only ones that don't are those that rely on geothermal energy.
