Well, plants get they`re energy from the sun to carry out they`re daily functions, such as growing, making seeds, and producing glucose( sugar) for food. They use about 90% of the energy from the sun for daily life. But the left over 10% is given to the organism that eats the plant. Energy Pyramids are a way of showing how energy moves from organism to organism. From producers (plants) to primary consumers (herbivores) to secondary consumers (carnivores).All in all organisms eat eachother for energy and 10% of energy is transfered to the organism that`s consuming the organism being eaten.

Why would no other organisms have energy if plants were destroyed?

Because plants are at the bottom of the food chain and it they didn't provide food for other animals the whole food chain would die

Okapi in a food chain?

Okapi are herbivores that feed primarily on leaves, grasses, buds, and fruits. In a food chain, they would occupy the position of a primary consumer, as they consume producers (plants) to obtain energy. They are an important link in the food chain as they provide energy to predators in the ecosystem through their consumption of plants.


What is the main source of energy for a food chain of plants fish turtles and sharks?

Plants are always the base of any food chain.


Where would a primary producer be located on the food chain?

A primary producer would be located at the beginning of the food chain, serving as the foundation by converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. These organisms, such as plants and algae, are crucial for sustaining life in an ecosystem as they provide energy for consumers up the food chain.


What in a food chain adds energy to every part of the food chain?

Producers, such as plants, are the organisms in a food chain that add energy to every part of the chain. They do this through the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into energy that can be used by other organisms in the food chain.

What is the Energy that drives the food chain?

Ultimately, the energy that drives a food chain is solar energy. Plants absorb and convert this energy, which insects, birds, and other herbivores transfer up the food chain until it reaches humans.


Why are the producers always the start of the food chain?

If you have a food chain then the chain must have a beginning (where the food is made) and an end (where the food is finally all used up). Thius in a food chain the "producers" of the food (the plants) are ALWAYS the start. The plants make food using CO2 from the air, Water from the ground and the energy they collect from Sunlight. It is the passing on of this energy from the Sun that is the chain.
