Why do plants turn sunlight CO2 and water into sugar and oxygen?

Because the Sugar is the plant's food - plants make their own food by trapping the energy in Sunlight.


How do plants and animals primarily use the oxygen to convert their food?

oxygen is primarily used by all living things to breakdown food to energy in a process called oxidation. We get this oxygen by respiration process. Apart from this plants use oxygen to make their food using sunlight in presence of Chlorophyll. Ad also by exhaling..


How do organisms get their energy from the sun?

Organisms use a process called photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. During photosynthesis, plants and some bacteria use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar), which serves as a source of energy for the organism. This process allows organisms to capture and store the energy contained in sunlight.


What are the links between the energy that carnivores get from eating to the entergy captured by photosynthesis?

The sun gives off energy in the form of sunlight. The sunlight is then absorbed by plants. Herbivores and first-level consumers eat the plants, therefore absorbing some of the energy. Carnivores and second-level consumers eat the herbivores, absorbing some of THEIR energy, which came from the plants in the first place!


Describe how energy enters a food web through plants?

Energy enters a food web by photosynthesis: the sun is the primary energy source, and autotrophs (mainly plants) 'fix' the energy & use it to convert carbon dioxide into foods which are then eaten by organisms further up the food chain.

What do plants release as they turn food into energy?

oxygen


What is the chemical in which plants turn light energy from the sun into chemical energy or food called?

The chemical in which plants convert light energy into chemical energy or food is called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs sunlight during photosynthesis to produce glucose, which is the plant's source of energy.


Plants use what to make their own food?

They use photosynthesis to turn sun energy to food energy.


Why are Plants are called producers because they?

They turn sunlight into food.


What can plants do that humans cannot?

Plants can perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy, which humans cannot do. Additionally, plants can regenerate and self-repair damaged tissues more effectively than humans. Some plants can also reproduce asexually through processes like budding or fragmentation, which humans cannot do.


What is the process called that plants use to turn sunlight into energy?

photosynthesis


What do trees need in order to make food?

Trees are plants, so it has plant cells that have chloroplast in them which turn sunlight into energy in a process called photosynthesis.


Why do people dependent on the sun for energy?

For several reasons, but one of the most obvious is our food. We eat food to get energy; the food comes directly from plants, or indirectly through the animals we eat (which, in turn, eat plants, or other animals that eat plants).


Why do plants turn sunlight CO2 and water into sugar and oxygen?

Because the Sugar is the plant's food - plants make their own food by trapping the energy in Sunlight.


Is the orgainsms that uses the suns energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into food molucues?

Plants.


What is transeferred from producers to consumers and decomposers through food chains?

Energy is transferred in a food chain. It starts with plants absorbing energy from the sun. It is then transferred up through the food chain by animals that eat plants which are, in turn, eaten by carnivore's.
