Herbivore animals eat the plants as food and carnivores eat those herbivore animals as food. Therefore, in a way, all animals depend on plants for their energy requirement.

How do voles get energy?

Voles get energy from their diet, which mainly consists of plants, seeds, and grains. They have high metabolic rates and constantly forage for food to meet their energy needs. Additionally, they have efficient digestive systems that help extract nutrients from their food to provide them with energy.


Does your body need plants for energy why and why not?

Yes, because plants are able to capture light energy from the sun and change it into food through a process called photosynthesis. The food that plants make supplies them with energy and also becomes a source of energy for the organisms that eat the plants. (We eat plants.) Without plants and other producers, consumers would not be able to live.

How does sunlight provide energy to all organisms?

The only organisms that can directly convert sunlight into energy are plants. Plants intake solar light and, through a series of complex chemical reactions, produce food and stored energy. This energy travels along the food chain as plants are eaten by animals, and animals by other animals. However, as each organism consumes the one before it, only about 10% of consumed organism's energy is transferred.


How is the energy from the sun passed to you?

The Sun's energy is converted into food by plants through photosynthesis. When you consume plants or animals that have consumed plants, you obtain the energy from the Sun in the form of calories and nutrients. This energy is then used by your body for various functions to keep you alive and healthy.

What organism that used energy from the sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to manufacture their own nutrients?

Plants! :D


How is energy passed in food chains and food webs?

it is passed by first, the energy from the sun and passed into plants which provide nutrients.


What organism must obtain nutrients and what?

Every living organism must obtain nutrients to survive. These nutrients typically include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals that are necessary for processes like growth, repair, and energy production.


How do plants provide energy in the food chain?

Well, plants get they`re energy from the sun to carry out they`re daily functions, such as growing, making seeds, and producing glucose( sugar) for food. They use about 90% of the energy from the sun for daily life. But the left over 10% is given to the organism that eats the plant. Energy Pyramids are a way of showing how energy moves from organism to organism. From producers (plants) to primary consumers (herbivores) to secondary consumers (carnivores).All in all organisms eat eachother for energy and 10% of energy is transfered to the organism that`s consuming the organism being eaten.


An autotroph is an organism that?

An autotroph is an organism that only needs inorganic nutrients and sunlight to survive. (eg. plants)


What do fertillisers provide for plants?

Nutrients , food .


What happens to the proteins in dead plants and animals?

Decomposition is kind of like recycling - all the nutrients that make up the organism that has died are eaten by smaller organisms for food and energy - in the process they provide food for other organisms (think of earthworms and birds for one example) as well as releasing the nutrients back to a form that can be used by plants to produce more food.


How is a nutrient cycle different from a energy pyramid?

It all depends on the plants because plants give off energy to a organism and then that organism gives it to another organism and the process continues.


What is outotroph?

Any organism capable of selfnourishment by using inorganicmaterials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis orchemosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certainbacteria and protists.


What is the organism that uses energy from sunlight?

Plants.


Do nutrients give plants energy?

Yes.


Is photosynthesis an organism?

Photosynthesis is not a organism. It is a process on plants. It provides energy for us.
