Most solar energy enters an ecosystem when autotrophs (which are also called producers and are generally plants) use it to provide energy for photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis stores solar energy in chemical bonds in glucose molecules, which can then be broken down later to produce energy through cellular respiration. Solar energy stored in plants moves up the food chain as consumers eat plants and are subsequently eaten by higher order consumers.

What is the main point of photosynthesis?
To turn solar energy into food that the plant can consume.
Is the solar system an ecosystem?
yes
What form of energy starts photosynthesis?
Solar energy
Why is energy important for the ecosystem?
Because if you think about solar power you need the sun to power the solar panels which is very good for the eco system
Where do plants store energy from the sun?
Plants perform a vital function for their own survival and as part of the ecosystem, and this is Photosynthesis. During this process, during which plants transform solar light into energy, the energy produced is stored in the leaves and part of the stems.
What kind of energy is inputted in an ecosystem?
The kind of energy that is inputted in an ecosystem is solar energy. Whether indirectly or directly, all living things use sunlight to maintain life.
Why are plants considered the primary producers in the ecosystem?
Plants convert solar energy (the primary energy source in the environment) into food and fuel.
Why is solar power good for the ecosystem?
The reason solar power is good for the ecosystem because it gives energy which comes front the sun and the sun gives energy to producers like kelp or any green leaves. for example photosynthesis in which photo means light and synthesis means process.
In what ways is solar energy retrieved from nature?
! have you just been born!?? the whole point of solar energy is the sun. The sun's rays beam down and hit the panals and it makes solar energy
Most energy is lost from an ecosystem in the form of?
Pretty much all of the energy that enters an ecosystem is solar energy. For a long time, it was thought that every ecosystem on the planet was solar based, but in the past few years an ecosystem was discovered on the bottom of the ocean where absolutely no sunlight reached. There were microscopic organisms that fed of of the sulfur that was being expelled by thermal exhaust vents. There were shrimp that fed off of these and several other species of animals lived off of the microorganisms and shrimp creating an ecosystem that did not rely on sunlight whatsoever. Energy is used in organisms by transferring energy into mechanical and thermal energy. Anything an animal does requires energy so this is how it is used.
What do consumers use in an ecosystem for food?
Consumers use in the ecosystem the energy resource at their level of energy as food.The consumers in the plant kingdom at the trophic level are autotrophs and use solar energy while at the next level the consumers are herbivores and the next level the omnivores and finally the decomposers who feed on decayed organism in the ecosystem.
What is the main point of photosynthesis?
To turn solar energy into food that the plant can consume.
What are the process of operation of solar PowerPoint?
the point is solar energy is to save money and to reduce less technology things.
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?
Is the solar system an ecosystem?
yes
How is the sun's energy solar energy?
the suns energy is solar energy because sun means solar so solar energy is from the sun
What are the edvantages of solar energy?
Solar energy is inexhaustible. Solar energy is not pollution. Solar energy can be used anywhere on Earth.
