Beans and coal both have stored energy. Where did the energy come from?

The stored energy in beans comes from the sun, through photosynthesis where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy. The energy in coal comes from ancient plants and organic matter that were buried and fossilized millions of years ago.


Why do living things need energy and where do they get it?

Living things need energy to do stuff like grow, breathe, walk around, dress themselves, sleep, procreate and do their homework. They get it by eating or by soaking up soil and sunlight. If they don't, they soon cease to be living things, and they no longer need to worry about energy.


Animals take in chemical energy from plants and other animals and convert it to what?

Animals convert chemical energy from plants and other animals into mechanical energy for movement, heat energy for maintaining body temperature, and to support bodily functions and growth. This energy conversion process occurs through cellular respiration, where nutrients are broken down to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for cellular energy.


How do predators get energy from the sun?

A carnivore does not get its energy from the sun directly. It is a secondary or tertiary consumer as part of a food chain. For example, plants get their energy from the sun, which makes them grow. These are called producers. Something then eats that plant (if edible) and that is what is known as the primary consumer, like mice eating corn. A carnivore eats animals lower on the food chains, usually the primary or secondary producers. For example, a cat would eat the mouse that ate the corn and then be a secondary consumer. A food chain is a transfer of energy from one organism to another by one eating another organism.


What is the source of energy of consumers and producers?

Consumers get their energy primarily from the food they eat, which provides nutrients that the body converts into energy. Producers, such as plants, get their energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis, which converts the sun's energy into chemical energy stored in sugars.
