Life is powered by sunlight. The energy used by most living cells comes ultimately from the sun. Plants, algae, and some bacteria use energy from sunlight, particularly blue and red wavelengths, to build molecules which later can be split through cellular respiration to retrieve some of that energy. Storing energy in molecules and then oxidizing those molecules to retrieve the stored energy maintains all life on Earth. Plants are often called ‘producers’ because they produce energy-storing molecules used by almost all other organisms on Earth. By eating plants, herbivores ‘steal’ these energy-storing molecules to maintain their own life processes. By eating animals, carnivores ‘plunder’ the molecules that store the energy oringinally captured by plants. By feeding on dead tissue, decomposers exploit whatever molecules remain in the dead the plants, herbivores, and carnivores. Ultimately, the process of photosynthesis is the most important chemical reaction on Earth.
photosynthesis
Energy enters plants through a process called photosynthesis
The role of photosynthesis in a food chain is called a producer.
yes
Photosynthesis is the method which allows plants to make glucose(their source of nutriment). They are autotrophs and are located at the bottom of the food chain (the base if you will). If there is no more photosynthesis there is no more glucose. If there is no more glucose there is no more plants. If there is no more plants, there will be no more living things.
The food chain does not start with Photosynthesis because Photosynthesis is the process in which a plant makes sugar for it to survive. A food chain is more likely to start with grasses or a small rodent and or a bug
photosynthesis
through an electron transport chain
In the food chain, plants are producers ( because they make oxygen thru the process of photosynthesis.)
photosynthesis
The electron transport chain produce ATP during cell respiration and photosynthesis.
If memory serves, chloroplast contains chlorophyll and is essential to photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the basis of almost all the energy in our ecosystem - very few organisms are not in a food chain founded on plant life. Furthermore, photosynthesis resulted in the high concentration of oxygen in our atmosphere, without which life as we know it would be impossible.

Electrons are used as an exchange currency during photosynthesis. The energy that provides the boost for these electrons comes from the electron transport chain.
Plants are essential for living things. Plants produce oxygen through a process called photosynthesis. Without plants, there would not be enough oxygen on the planet for all living things to survive. Plants are also a critical part of the food chain.
