NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Animals get energy from the Sun indirectly. This occurs when they consume plants. The plants convert energy from the Sun into chemical energy and store it in their tissues. This is done through photosynthesis, where light from the Sun is converted into carbon dioxide and water and used to produce sugars in plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, all the organisms in the ecosystem get their energy from the plants either directly or indirectly. This means the herbivores directly get the energy from the plants and the carnivores get the energy from herbivores which gets its energy from plants.
