What energy is stored in grass?

Grass stores chemical energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into sugars for growth and development. This stored energy can be consumed by animals who eat the grass, transferring the energy up the food chain.


What is the difference between an energy chain and an energy diagram?

An energy chain is a straights line.So there is only one producer , one primary consumer and so on. An energy diagram splits so there are many producers and consumers.It is not a straight line.


Explain how energy passes through a food chain?

The first level of the food chain are producers who make their own food from photosynthesis. The herbivores and omnivores eat the first level and convert that energy for use. That level is also eaten by the omnivores and the carnivores who further convert the energy.


What happens to energy that seems to be lost in an energy chain?

Energy is NEVER lost in an energy chain. It is simply converted into a different source of energy or matter. For example, in swing, a person would get on, and use mechanical energy to power it so it can move. What people don't realize is that on the top, the metal chains that hold the swing together also moves along with the swing. Up there, the mechanical energy that moves the chains a little, and friction starts to occur. But that's not it. Instead of helping with the movement below, frictional force above the swing causes energy to be somehow "lost" in the trail. That's not true at all. The energy "lost" is converted into heat in the process.


How is energy transferred from one organism to the other?

Energy is transferred between organisms through the consumption of food. Producers (plants) convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is then consumed by herbivores. Carnivores then consume herbivores, transferring the energy up the food chain. In each transfer, some energy is lost as heat.

Explain how energy is transferred through a food chain?

Energy is transferred through a food chain as organisms consume other organisms. Primary producers, like plants, absorb energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Herbivores then consume plants, transferring the energy. Carnivores further transfer the energy by consuming herbivores. This process continues up the food chain, with each level of organisms consuming the energy stored in the organisms they consume.


How does NADH contribute to the production of energy in the body?

NADH plays a crucial role in the production of energy in the body by transferring electrons from glucose breakdown to the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. This process generates ATP, the main energy currency of cells, which is used for various cellular functions.


Where does almost all the energy used by living things come from?

Almost all the energy used by living things comes from the Sun, through the process of photosynthesis. Plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which is then consumed by other organisms, transferring the energy up the food chain.


What is the process of turning sun energy into food energy?

Plants perform photosynthesis where they use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar), which is a form of chemical energy. This energy is stored in the plant's cells and can be consumed by other organisms as food, transferring the sun's energy up the food chain.


What is the name of the process that heterotropsh gets energy from?

Heterotrophs get energy by eating plants. The process is called food chain.


Why is the movement from The basic elements different from the transferring energy?

An example of the transfer of energy is the food chain. This is different from movement of basic elements in the ecosystem because energy gets used, not just moved.


What role do high energy electron carriers play in cellular respiration?

High energy electron carriers, such as NADH and FADH2, play a crucial role in cellular respiration by transferring electrons to the electron transport chain. This process generates ATP, the cell's main energy source, through a series of redox reactions.


What in a food chain adds energy to every part of the food chain?

Producers, such as plants, are the organisms in a food chain that add energy to every part of the chain. They do this through the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into energy that can be used by other organisms in the food chain.
