|
The sun’s energy is transformed into food by plants, animals eat plants as food so that they can transform that food into energy.
|
|
|
Plants produced energy through photosynthesis, animals that eat that energy can produce food.
|
|
|
Plants transformed energy of the sun into gases that animals can breath in to use as energy through respiration.
|
|
|
Animals are able to use energy from the sun by eating the plants that provides energy for the animals.

Detailed explanation-1: -Correct answer: Energy flows from the Sun to producers. Explanation: 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose, found in the food animals eat, is broken down during the process of cellular respiration into an energy source called ATP. When excess ATP and glucose are present, the liver converts them into a molecule called glycogen, which is stored for later use.
