Plants make their own food by trapping the energy in sunlight (they are therefore classified as producers).

Animals can not make their own food, the have to eat plants (if they are herbivores) or catch and eat herbivores (if they are carnivores) to obtain their or energy (they are classified as consumers).

Thus the energy powering life is the Sunlight that the Producers gather.

What is the only form of energy that is not derived from the sun?

Geothermal energy is the only form of energy that is not derived from the sun. It is generated from the Earth's internal heat.


Is geothermal energy derived from the sun?

No, Geothermal energy comes from the earth.


The source of all energy?

The sun. It grows the grass the animals eat. The grass transfers some of its energy to the animal. Then, when we eat the animal, it transfers energy to us. Even then the sun is not the source of ALL energy. Volcanoes and tectonic forces on Earth are driven by heat derived from the radioactive decay of Uranium and Thorium in the Earth's inner layers.


How does an animal gets energy from the sun?

Animals get energy from the sun by the chloroplasts in the animals cells. The chloroplasts capture energy from the sun and use it to produce energy to the cell and therefore, the animal.


What is the relationship between an animal and the sun?

What is Energy derived from the sun?

Energy derived from the sun is called solar energy. It is created through nuclear fusion reactions in the sun's core and travels to Earth in the form of sunlight. Solar energy can be harnessed using solar panels to generate electricity or heat water.


Are Most energy sources are derived from the Sun's energy?

Yes, the majority of our energy sources, including fossil fuels, wind, hydroelectric, and solar power, ultimately originate from the Sun's energy. The Sun's energy drives processes like photosynthesis and weather patterns, which in turn creates these energy sources on Earth.


What is an Energy drink substance derived from animal bile?

There is no energy drink substance derived from animal bile. Energy drinks generally contain ingredients like caffeine, taurine, B-vitamins, and sugar. However, some traditional Chinese medicine products may contain ingredients derived from animal bile, but these are not typically found in mainstream energy drinks.


True or false the energy in fossil fuels derived from the energy stored in plant and animal matter?

How do you not get energy directly from the foods you eat?

because the energy comes from the sun, plants absorb energy, an animal eats the plant and then we eat the animal. The animal didn't create the energy.


How do you change chemical energy into solar energy?

You can't. "Solar energy" is also a wrongful term . . . the energy that comes from Sol, our sun, is the energy derived from nuclear fusion in Sol, our sun. In fact, it is this tremendous energy that keeps the sun big and ball-shaped.
