Which type of organism produces energy from sunlight?

Autotrophs gather energy directly from the sun. Herbivores eat plants.


Can animals get energy directly from the sun due to photosynthesis?

No, animals cannot perform photosynthesis to directly convert sunlight into energy. Only plants, algae, and some bacteria can carry out photosynthesis. Animals get their energy by consuming plants, other animals, or by breaking down molecules through cellular respiration.


How is your brain powered by the sun?

Most life on Earth is powered by the Sun. Plants use Photosynthesis to make carbohydrates from the Sun. Animals eat Plants, we eat both plants and animals that eat plants. Therefore indirectly virtually all of our food energy comes from the Sun. Our Brain uses our food energy to operate. Therefore our brain is powered by the Sun.


What is the source of the energy plants use to make carbohydrates the Sun or bacteria or groundwater or organic matter?

The source of the energy plants use to make carbohydrates is the Sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in the form of carbohydrates. Bacteria and organic matter play important roles in the decomposition and nutrient cycling processes in ecosystems, but they are not the direct source of energy for carbohydrate synthesis in plants. Groundwater does not directly contribute to the energy production in plants.


T or f heterotrophs can get the energy they need directly from the sun?

False. Heterotrophs cannot obtain energy directly from the sun; instead, they rely on consuming other organisms, such as plants or animals, to obtain their energy. Unlike autotrophs, which can produce their own energy through photosynthesis, heterotrophs depend on organic matter for sustenance.

Grass, plants,etc


Why mushrooms are not plants?

Mushrooms are classified as fungi and not plants because they do not photosynthesize their energy from the sun, instead obtaining it directly from the ground.


Does a zebra take energy from the sun indirectly or directly?

Indirectly, via eating plants.


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.


Could plants survive without sun?

All living things need the sun to survive in one way or another. All "natural" energy on Earth comes directly from the sun. So, to answer your question, plants could not survive if there was no sun.


Which type of organism produces energy from sunlight?

Autotrophs gather energy directly from the sun. Herbivores eat plants.


How do you get nutrition from the sun?

The sun aids to human nutrition directly and indirectly. Directly, the sun's rays provide vitamin D and indirectly through ATP/photosynthesis It gives energy to plants that we eat and the animals that eat them (which we also eat.) You will get the most indirect nutrition from the the sun (energy) if you eat plants.


What are plants able to change the sun energy into food through process?

Plants are able to change the sun's energy into food through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants are able to synthesize food directly into carbon dioxide.


What is the term for organisms such as green plants that can directly capture the sun's energy and make their own food?

Autotrophs
