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 renewable energy source is not dependent on the sun?
Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source that is not dependent on the sun. It involves harnessing the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity or provide heating. Geothermal energy is considered a reliable and constant source of energy.
Is wind energy dependent on the sun?
Yes, wind energy is indirectly dependent on the sun. Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which causes air to move and create wind patterns. Therefore, wind energy can be considered a form of solar energy.
How is water energy dependent on the sun?
Water energy, such as hydroelectric power, is dependent on the sun because the sun's energy drives the water cycle. Solar radiation creates winds that move oceans and evaporate water, which then falls back to Earth as precipitation - providing the water needed to generate hydroelectric power. So ultimately, without the sun's energy, there would be no water cycle to generate water energy.
Which energy resource is not ultimately dependent on the sun's energy?
1. Atomic Energy Because the even without sun, the world remains in absolute zero. Even at that temperature atoms has an energy called Fermi Energy. Of course when the temperature increases atoms gain more energy. 2. Gravitational Energy 3.Electro Magnetic energy 4.May be electrical energy too
How is a secondary consumer like a cat which eats mouse dependent upon the energy of the sun?
ala
How is a second-order consumer dependent upon the energy of the sun?
it gets its energy to reproduce
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
Is beetle a secondary concumer?
It depends. A secondary consumer is the second creature to eat anything in the food chain. So if a carnivorous bug ate another bug that had already eaten a plant, it would be a secondary consumer. A plant is not a consumer because it gets it's energy from the sun. A consumer is an animal that eats.
What energy role does the first organism in a food chain fill?
Sun Plant - producer Animal - primary consumer Animal 2 - secondary consumer Animal 3 - tertiary consumer Hope this helps
Which organisim is a 'secondary consumer'?
Secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers. Primary consumers eat primary producers. Primary producers are plants that photosynthesize sun light into chemical energy. A cow, for example, that eats grass (a primary producer) is considered to be a primary consumer. The wolf (or a human for that matter), who eats the cow (a primary consumer), is defined as the secondary consumer.
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.
Is a sun a consumer?
Producer- energy from the
What is a consumer that eats primary consumers.?
A meat-eater that eats primary consumers is a secondary consumer. Then goes the tertiary consumer, quartenary consumer, etc. It only goes up to 5 though, because the energy from the sun is so low after the 5th one.
Where does a secondary consumer get it energy from?
Secondary consumers receive their energy by consuming other species. The energy that those species had transfers to the carnivore. Energy never ends, it keeps transferring and can change forms. A useful diagram of this process can be found at http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/F/FoodChains.html.
How can you save energy and minimize fuel cost?
Energy can be efficiently saved by being less dependent on secondary sources for communicating and commuting. Use sun light and prefer to walk, it keeps you fit.
What is the correct order of food chain?
producer<--- primary consumer<--- secondary consumer<--- tirtiary consumer
