Energy comes from the Sun to Earth - and some of it to plants - via sunlight, which can travel through empty space. Plants store part of the energy they get, and we then get the energy from the plants we eat. We - those who are not strict vegans, that is - also get some of the energy in a more indirect way, by eating animal products (meat, eggs, milk); in this case, the animal gets energy from the plants, and stores part of it, and we get the energy from the animal products.

Does grass absorb energy sun?

Yes, grass is a type of plant that undergoes photosynthesis, a process where sunlight is absorbed by the plant's chlorophyll to produce energy for growth and metabolism. This is how grass absorbs energy from the sun.


How does a wolf get energy from the sun?

Wolves do not obtain energy directly from the sun like plants do through photosynthesis. Instead, wolves acquire energy by consuming other animals or plant-eating animals. They are at the top of the food chain and get their energy from the animals they hunt and eat.


How the tomato plant can be traced back to the sun?

The most obvious answer is that Tomato plants have to photosynthesise using in part energy from the sun. If they did not have this energy from the sun and photosynthesis the plant would not be able to grow. Another way a tomato plant can be traced back to the sun is that when the earth was created it was essentially spat out by the sun. In this way all tomato plants are made of matter that was once part of the sun.


Can you describe the events that take place as energy from the sun travels through an energy pyramid?

As energy from the sun travels through an energy pyramid, it is absorbed by producers (plants) through photosynthesis. The producers convert the sun's energy into chemical energy, which is then passed on to primary consumers (herbivores) when they consume the plants. This energy transfer continues through the different trophic levels of the pyramid as organisms are consumed, with energy being lost at each transfer due to respiration and heat loss.


What happened to energy in the sun during photosynthesis?

During photosynthesis, the sun's energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in plant cells. This energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The glucose produced serves as a source of energy for the plant, while the oxygen is released into the atmosphere.
