energy from the sun is taken by plants in the process of photosynthesis to form glucose from CO2 and H2O. The plants have a compound in their green leaves cells called chlorophyll which is enables the cell to trap sun rays or light particles called photon and so through plants and algae sun energy enter into food chain
What else can I help you with?
How is a second-order consumer dependent upon the energy of the sun?
it gets its energy to reproduce
How do the second order consumer depend upon the energy from the sun?
the sun gives off the required light for the consumer to strive in the society.
The animal that forms the second level of the food chain are?
you call an animal that eats a producer (a plant which gets its energy from the sun) a primary consumer. something that eats a primary consumer is called a secondary consumer. Something that eats this is called a tertiary consumer.
How much energy does a primary consumer receive of the original energy from the sun?
A primary consumer receives about 10% of the original energy from the sun. This energy is captured by producers through photosynthesis and passed on through the food chain, with energy decreasing at each trophic level.
What is the meaning of first consumer?
Well its a Consumer that eats the Producers I guess. Also the Second-level consumers eat the First-level consumers and the Producers The Third-level consumers eat the Second-level consumers,First-level consumers and the Producers which is the Decomposers the plants and the Sun
Is a sun a consumer?
Producer- energy from the
What happens to the amount of energy as it passed from producers to the first order consumer then the second order consumer?
90% of the kilocalories are lost at every level due to the decreasing population of animals as you travel up throughout an energy pyramid. So, if the producers get 10,000 kilocalories from the sun, and the first level consumers get 1,000 kcal, then we can only conclude that the second level consumers will get around 100 kcal. If this is confusing, try looking it up through different questions or on Wikipedia. Answered by a 7th grader : 3
Why is the sun considered primary consumer?
The sun is not considered a primary consumer. In an ecosystem, primary consumers are organisms that directly consume producers (plants or autotrophs) for energy. The sun is the primary source of energy for almost all life on Earth, making it the ultimate source of energy in the food chain.
Is beef a producer or a consumer?
It is a consumer. Even though we eat it, a producer is something that gets its food from the sun. Beef doesn't get its energy from the sun. It gets its energy from a producer, grass.
sun is a producer,consumer,producer,or decomposer?
Producer- energy from the
How energy travels from the sun through the plant and on to a consumer?
Energy travels through radiation
What is the life cycle of glucose?
Sun -(Photosynthesis)> Plant -(Eaten)> Primary consumer (Some energy lost by heat) -(Eaten)> Secondary consumer (Some energy lost by heat) -(Death)> Sun
