Question

so the question is, where do green plants get the energy they store in their tissues—the same energy that is passed on to other organisms that eat the plants? plants dont have mouths to eat food. they cant chase prey like a wolf or a lion can. they are literally rooted to the ground.

the solution is simple. plants get their energy from the sun. like so many simple solutions, however, this one involves a more complex explanation. in this case, the process begins inside a tiny plant cell and grows from there.

Plants get their energy from the Sun.
