Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis & food chains Animals have to hunt or gather food to get the energy they need, but plants can make their own food using light energy from the sun. This process is called photosynthesis, and it takes place in the chloroplasts, tiny green structures found in the green parts of plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -The energy that animals use comes from the food that they eat. Some animals eat other animals and some animals eat plants. All of the energy that is consumed by animals comes from the sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
Detailed explanation-4: -In fact, the Sun is the ultimate source of energy for almost all cells, because photosynthetic prokaryotes, algae, and plant cells harness solar energy and use it to make the complex organic food molecules that other cells rely on for the energy required to sustain growth, metabolism, and reproduction (Figure 1).
