Detailed explanation-1: -This greenhouse effect keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life. Almost all life on Earth relies on solar energy for food, either directly or indirectly. Producers rely directly on solar energy. They absorb sunlight and convert it into nutrients through a process called photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -All nutritional energy comes from the Sun: plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize the Sun’s energy into plant energy, and then animals either feed on plants for that energy or they feed on the animals that have eaten that plant energy. The food chain begins with the Sun and then the energy flows to producers.
Detailed explanation-3: -The energy content of all food molecules can be traced back to the Sun. It is the process of photosynthesis that locks the Sun’s energy into simple carbohydrates like glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Scientific view The vast majority of energy that exists in food webs originates from the sun and is converted (transformed) into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis in plants.
