Producers, primarily plants, are the organisms in a food chain responsible for transforming radiant energy into chemical energy. Through the process of photosynthesis, they convert sunlight into glucose and other organic compounds, which serve as energy sources for themselves and other organisms in the food chain. This process is fundamental to energy flow and sustains life in ecosystems.
Plants, through the process of photosynthesis, are responsible for converting radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose. This process involves capturing sunlight to power the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
One example of radiant energy transforming into chemical energy is through the process of photosynthesis in plants. During photosynthesis, plants absorb light energy from the sun (radiant energy) and convert it into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose. This chemical energy is then used by the plant for growth, development, and other metabolic processes.

Organisms such as plants, algae, and some bacteria are capable of transforming radiant energy from the sun into chemical potential energy through the process of photosynthesis. This energy is stored in the bonds of molecules like glucose, which serves as a source of energy for the organisms.
High-energy waves such as X-rays and UV rays are the various types of radiant energy from the sun that can damage an organism's DNA.
Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.
Plants contain chemical energy that was made from radiant energy in the form of sunlight during the process of photosynthesis.
