Question
all biological energy starts out as energy captured by ____ from the sun to form __ ____. choose the two words that complete this sentence. food energy animals plants glucose rewatch
In biological energy flow, plants perform photosynthesis to capture solar energy and convert it into glucose (a form of chemical energy - rich molecule). Animals consume food (derived from plants or other animals) but don't directly capture solar energy to form energy - rich molecules from the sun. So the first blank should be "plants" (as they are the ones capturing solar energy) and the second blank should be "glucose" (the product of photosynthesis that stores the captured solar energy in a chemical form).
