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: -Explanation: The food chain begins with the sun: plants get their energy by photosynthesizing sunlight into energy, and then herbivores eat those plants to get their energy. Carnivores who then eat the herbivores are getting that sunlight passed along from sun to plant to herbivore to carnivore.

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: -Animals can make use of the sugars provided by the plants in their own cellular energy factories, the mitochondria. These energy factories produce a versatile energy currency in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-5: -Summary. Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.
