Detailed explanation-1: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun’s core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom. During the fusion process, radiant energy is released.
Detailed explanation-3: -Producers create their own energy by using the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis works like this; sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in the leaves of a plant. This sunlight is used to “cook” CO2 and water to create glucose (C6H12O6).
