Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How can energy from the sun be transferred to animals?
A
The sun’s energy is transformed into food by plants, animals eat plants as food so that they can transform that food into energy.
B
Plants produced energy through photosynthesis, animals that eat that energy can produce food.
C
Plants transformed energy of the sun into gases that animals can breath in to use as energy through respiration.
D
Animals are able to use energy from the sun by eating the plants that provides energy for the animals.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nature, through photosynthesis, enables plants to convert the sun’s energy into a form that they and other living things can make use of. Plants transfer that energy directly to most other living things as food or as food for animals that other animals eat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animals depend on other living things for food. Some animals eat plants while others eat other animals. This passing of energy from the sun to plants to animals to other animals is called a food chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food. Cells then use this energy to perform work, such as cellular respiration.
