Yes. Plants obtain energy via photosynthesis and store that energy in the form of carbohydrates. Sometimes when a plant dies it gets buried deep enough heat and pressure inside the earth converts the plant tissue into what we know as fossil fuels, with the same energy stored in the molecules.

Is it true that fossil fuel that people use for energy is produced by the process of photosynthesis?

Yes, Fossil fuels are plants that have died millions of years ago and degraded into their elemental components over the course of that time. Plants create their energy from photosynthesis, thus those long dead plants had at one time created that energy by photosynthesis.


Carbon in fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of?

Fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of photosynthesis.


How can fossil fuels be used as solar energy?

The hydrocarbons used in the fossil fuel are the product of photosynthesis, that took place in the plants of carboniferous age. Since photosynthesis require solar energy, these fossil fuels have also been derived from solar energy.


How did plants and animals get their energy before coming fossil fuels?

Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. Animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals. This natural process has been occurring for millions of years before the use of fossil fuels.


Forty percent of all the commercial energy produced in the world is produced from?

35% of the world's commercial energy is produced from coal


How the burning of fossil fuels can help and hinder photosynthesis?

Burning fossil fuels can help photosynthesis by providing the necessary CO2, a key ingredient for the process. However, burning fossil fuels also releases pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that can harm plant health and hinder photosynthesis. Additionally, the greenhouse gases produced from burning fossil fuels can contribute to climate change, impacting the environment where photosynthesis occurs.


How is most energy in the US produced?

fossil fuels


Is nuclear energy produced extracted or refined?

Nuclear energy is produced through the process of nuclear fission, which involves splitting atoms to release energy. This process does not involve extraction or refinement like fossil fuels, but rather relies on the controlled chain reaction within a nuclear reactor to generate heat and then electricity.


Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?

Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.


Why we depend on the sun for energy?

Because it is sunlight that powers photosynthesis (producing all the food we eat) and fossil sunlight that is the energy contained in fossil fuels.


How did the solar energy get stored in the fossil fuels?

When the trees and vegetation were growing they took in solar energy through photosynthesis. This energy was stored in the plants as hydrocarbons. It remains there as the plants, over millions of years, become fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


Fossil fuels store energy from the sun as?

Fossil fuels store energy from the sun as they are formed by the decomposition of organic matter like plants and animals that received energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This process occurred over millions of years, resulting in the formation of coal, oil, and natural gas.
