All forms of energy on earth other than nuclear energy, gravitational energy, and electromagnetic energy originate from the sun. The sun is a partial source of some of these on earth as well, but not all of them.
Of the forms of energy obtained from the sun:
* solar energy is the most direct, and is energy radiated to the earth from the sun * wind energy is primarily caused by thermal effects from the heat radiated from the sun * hydroenergy (from hydropower stations on rivers) is from potential energy created by the evaporation of water (by the sun) that then rains into catchments for hydropower dams
* wave energy is created by thermal effects from the sun and the earths core and to a lesser degree gravitational effects from the earth, sun and moon
* biological sources of energy are from plants that use the energy from the sun, water and CO2 to store energy by creating glucose and then more complex carbohydrates. All biological sources of energy are dependant on this process. Animals get their energy from these carbohydrates or from other animals that have eaten carbohydrates. Even the oil extracted from the earth for energy is biological in origin and predominantly comes from ancient plants that have been condensed through geological processes into a concentrated energy rich form. Even other sources of energy, such as chemical reactions, require some energy to get them started, or to get the materials brought into a condition where they will react, and the origin of this is almost always the sun.
What else can I help you with?
In photosynthesis do plants absorb energy from the sun?
Plants don't really absorb energy, but they do use the energy of the sun's light to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is a form of chemical energy. So yes, the sun's energy does enable plants to grow, but it isn't just absorbed in the same form.
How do plants store energy from the sun?
Plants store energy from the sun through photosynthesis, a process in which they convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This energy is stored in the form of carbohydrates within the plant's cells for later use in growth and metabolism.
What eventually happens to energy from the sun which is captured by the plants in the wood?
The energy captured by plants from the sun is stored in the form of chemical energy through photosynthesis. When the plants die and decompose or are burned, this stored energy is released back into the environment as heat or as potential energy in the form of biomass.
What is an organism called that gets its energy directly from the sun?
An organism that gets its energy directly from the sun is called a primary producer or autotroph. These organisms use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy, which is then used for growth and development. Examples include plants and some types of bacteria.
What do plants use to store energy from the sun?
Plants store energy from the sun in the form of glucose through the process of photosynthesis. This glucose is stored in plant cells as starch or used for growth, reproduction, and providing energy for cellular processes.
Plants transform some of the electromagnetic energy form the sun into?
During photo, plants form the electric energy they gather from the sun into fart energy.
Which organism gathers its energy directly from the Sun?
Which organism gathers its energy directly from the sun
Do plants get their energy directly from the sun?
Yes, the leaves absorb the sunlight
Does the Centipede get the energy directly from the sun?
No. Only plants and some algae do that.
What kind of living thing get energy directly from the sun?
Grass, plants,etc
Which type of organism produces energy from sunlight?
Autotrophs gather energy directly from the sun. Herbivores eat plants.
Which best explains how plants receive energy from the sun?
the sun gives off energy in the form of photons
Is enery form the sun the same as energy from food but you a different form?
*is energy from the sun the same as energy from food but in a different form ?* energy gets past threw in a cycle, plants take in energy, animals eat plants, humans make animals in to food.
What do Nearly all living things obtain energy either directly or?
Photosynthesis gives plants energy, and when animals eat the plants, they gain energy from the plants. And, of course, when animals eat other animals, they indirectly obtain energy from the plants, which get their energy from the sun. So, the answer would be the sun.
Which best explains how green plants receive energy from sun?
the sun gives off energy in the form of photons
What needs energy from the sun to survive?
A phototroph. Directly plants, lichen and algae. Indirectly, almost every living thing requires the sun's energy (herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat herbivores). PLANTS,ANIMALS,and HUMANS. The only known living creatures that do not rely directly or indirectly on the energy of the sun are the chemotrophs at the bottom of the ocean.
What is an example of how energy from the sun gets into your cells?
Energy from the sun is captured by plants through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. When you consume plants or plant-eating animals, you directly or indirectly obtain this stored energy, which is then broken down in your cells through cellular respiration to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells.
