yes it does!! :)
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
Oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the Earth's atmosphere absorb energy from the sun in the thermosphere. This is the layer of the atmosphere that experiences the highest temperatures due to the absorption of solar radiation.
Yes, chloroplasts contain pigments like chlorophyll that absorb sunlight energy during the process of photosynthesis. This energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of chemical energy plants can use.
Good question. Since the Sun is our primary power source, it is the first step in analyzing where the energy from something comes from. Let's look at a nice T-bone steak for example. So on a bright, sunny day, the Sun is shining down on some grass. The grass grows enough and then the cattle farmer lets his heard out to graze. So the cow takes in the grass which was already taking in energy from the Sun. The cow will continue to do this, gathering food from the grass and therefore, energy from the Sun. The next step is a consumer buying the meat at a grocery store. When you cook and eat the steak, you will be consuming food in the form of that cow, which got its energy form the grass, which in turn got its energy from the Sun. Thus, the Sun is our source of energy for everything in our world. Everything can thus be traced back to the Sun as its primary supplier of energy.
A cow cannot fully extract all the energy stored in the grass because some of it is lost as heat during digestion and metabolism. Additionally, not all the energy absorbed from the sun by the grass is stored as chemical energy in plant cells, as some is used for other plant functions such as growth and reproduction.

Grass takes energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Therefore, the sun provides energy for grass.
Grass stores energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. When a hawk consumes a herbivore that has eaten the grass, it obtains the stored energy in the form of nutrients like proteins and carbohydrates. The hawk then metabolizes these nutrients to fuel its own energy needs.
The grass gets it's energy from the sun and then the rabbit eats the grass.
Well.... yes and no. They don't absorb NUTRIENTS from the air or sun, that comes from their roots in the soil. They receive carbon dioxide from the air, and this is absorbed through their leaves. They absorb energy from the sun in the form of UV rays.... but these are not nutrients... merely necessary energy to drive the processes in their metabolism.
Chloroplast do not produce energy.They absorb energy of sun light.
The sun.
The Sun.
Grass contains carbon which was taken out of the atmosphere by photosynthesis using the Sun's energy. The grass can be burned to recover the energy as heat.
The Sun and rain.
From the sun .
No, trees absorb energy through photosynthesis. Idiot.
