Flashcards: Model how energy in animals' food originated from the sun

Which of the following best describes how a carnivore gets energy from the sun.

Lions do much of their hunting at sunrise when nocturnal animals are ending their day and other animals are just getting their day started.

A plant uses photosynthesis to get its energy from the sun, and then a deer gets its energy by eating the plant. Then when a wolf eats the deer, it receives energy from the deer.

A grizzly bear sleeps all winter when it is mostly dark and cold outside, and then is active all summer when the weather is nicer.

A shark prefers to hunt in warmer water where seals and sea lions go in winter to give birth to their young.

Flashcards: Model how energy in animals' food originated from the sun

Which of the following best describes how a carnivore gets energy from the sun.

Your answer:

Lions do much of their hunting at sunrise when nocturnal animals are ending their day and other animals are just getting their day started.

Your answer:

A grizzly bear sleeps all winter when it is mostly dark and cold outside, and then is active all summer when the weather is nicer.

Your answer:

A shark prefers to hunt in warmer water where seals and sea lions go in winter to give birth to their young.

Correct answer:

A plant uses photosynthesis to get its energy from the sun, and then a deer gets its energy by eating the plant. Then when a wolf eats the deer, it receives energy from the deer.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the way in which plants convert the sun's energy into their own energy. And since animals get their energy from food, when an animal eats a plant it gets its plant-based energy indirectly from the sun, because that's how the plant itself got energy. Then when a carnivore eats a plant-eating animal, the carnivore gets energy from the herbivore, who got its energy from the plant, which got it from the sun. So even meat-eaters indirectly get their energy from the sun.

The leopard is a carnivore that eats impalas and other deer-like herbivores on the African savannah. Which of the following would be a potential consequence to leopards if a drought eliminated most of the plants in the leopard's habitat?

Without plants to hide behind, impalas and other herbivores would be easier to catch and leopards would have an overabundance of food.

The leopard would be mostly fine, since it eats meat and not plants.

The herbivores that the leopard eats would die off from starvation, and the leopard would be left without a food source.

The leopard's teeth are sharp enough that it could survive by eating rocks and gravel until the drought was over.

Your answer:

The leopard's teeth are sharp enough that it could survive by eating rocks and gravel until the drought was over.

Correct answer:

The herbivores that the leopard eats would die off from starvation, and the leopard would be left without a food source.

Explanation:

The food chain is highly interdependent in any given habitat, so if the plant-eating impalas and deer that leopards eat were suddenly to lose their plant-based food sources, they would die out and the leopards wouldn't have much left to eat. All nutritional energy comes from the sun: plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize the sun's energy into plant energy, and then animals either feed on plants for that energy or they feed on the animals that have eaten that plant energy. A loss in plants means that the solar energy that supplies even the most ferocious carnivores will be less plentiful.
