The sun fuels itself via nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms join together in a proton/proton chain, turning into helium. Some of the helium burns to continue the proton/proton chain while the remainder of the energy escapes to space.

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.


What gets it's energy indirectly from the sun?

Plants get their energy indirectly from the sun through photosynthesis. They use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which is used as a source of energy for the plant. Other organisms then obtain energy by consuming plants or other organisms that have consumed plants.


Do killer bee get energy from the sun?

No. Plants get energy from the sun. Bee's, like most animals, get their energy from food.


Why is the sun always at the beginning of a food chain?

The sun is at the beginning of the food chain because it provides energy for plants through photosynthesis. Plants are then consumed by animals, starting the flow of energy through the food chain. This energy transfer from the sun to plants to animals is the foundation of most ecosystems.


How does gas get its energy from the sun?

Natural gas is formed from the fossilized remains of animals and plants. These animals and plants took energy from the sun when they were growing (plants through photosynthesis, animals through eating plants). This energy remains in the gas and is released when the gas is burnt.A:If you are referring to the energy in natural gas or gasoline here on earth, these fossil fuels were made from the organic matter in plant material which originally grew by absorbing energy from the sun.
