Humans gain energy directly from plants by eating the plants themselves in the form of fruits, vegetables, and grains. We gain energy from them indirectly by eating the meat of animals that eat plants.
Humans can't get energy directly from the sun, they get it indirectly via plants.Plants fix the energy from the sun by photosynthesis; this enables them to grow & become food.Humans eat the plants, or eat the herbivores (e.g. beef cattle) which have grown & produced meat by eating the plants.So you could say that the solar energy that humans obtain is either 2nd or 3rd hand.
Photosynthesis gives plants energy, and when animals eat the plants, they gain energy from the plants. And, of course, when animals eat other animals, they indirectly obtain energy from the plants, which get their energy from the sun. So, the answer would be the sun.
Yes - indirectly. We get energy from the food we eat, which comes from animals or plants; animals also get their energy from plants; and plants get the energy from sunlight.
The Sun, becuase plants need sunlight to do photosynthesis. Plants are producers, so bunnies are primary producers, the eat the plants, then coyotes eat the bunnies. They are secondary consumers, then whatever eats the coyotes, are 3rd consumers.. There's a word for it that stars with A T.
plants make energy and food from the sun with photosynthesis. Animals eat plants which give the consumers energy. We breathe oxygen
*is energy from the sun the same as energy from food but in a different form ?* energy gets past threw in a cycle, plants take in energy, animals eat plants, humans make animals in to food.
The food they eat, in the form of sap from plants, and blood from animals.
Most energy flow begins as sunlight, which is captured by plants through photosynthesis. Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which is then passed on to consumers when they eat plants or other animals that have eaten plants.
Energy comes from the sun in the form of sunlight. Sunlight is an abundant source of illumination during the day, and it also drives the process of photosynthesis by which green plants synthesize food. Whether we eat animals or vegetables, the source of the energy ultimately is the sun. Green plants form the base of all the food chains on which humans depend.
Plants store energy in the form of carbohydrates through photosynthesis. When animals eat plants, they break down these carbohydrates through cellular respiration to release the stored energy for their own use.
They eat animals that eat plants.

Plants are able to convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis, which allows them to produce their own food in the form of glucose. When we eat plants, we are able to obtain this energy stored in the form of glucose, which our bodies can then convert into usable energy through processes like cellular respiration.
Omnivores get their energy from plants that they eat. The plants get their energy from the sun.
Plants absorb sunlight through photosynthesis to produce energy in the form of sugars. When you eat plants or animals that have consumed plants, you are consuming this stored solar energy. This energy is then transferred through the food chain to eventually reach your dinner plate.
