Answer:
Plants uses this abiotic factor eg, rain and Sunlight energy to manufacture their own food in the process known as photosynthesis
Step-by-step explanation:
During photosynthesis,
6CO2 + 6H20= C6H12O6 + 6O2, the reaction is catalysed by sunlight energy and chlorophyll.
Also energy enters the ecosystem from the sun, since our ecosystem is an open system as far as energy is concerned, I.e energy continuously gets in and out of the system. The energy goes through the biotic community and its food chain, and goes out as heat, organic matter and resulting organisms. The organisms are able to capture use the solar energy in order to transform some inorganic compounds into organic compounds, through the photosynthesis. These compounds are used by producers in two ways: to live and to grow (the organic compounds form new structural elements of plant like leaves and new branches). Herbivores, by eating vegetables, absorb their organic substances and metabolise them, i.e. transform them into other organic substances that can be used for all vital functions (breathing, movements, body temperature, and many others) and use them as structural material in order to grow. The transfer of energy through the food chain evolves heat equal amount of heat that is been absorbed from the sun
