Describe how energy flows from the sun to plants to animals

Engergy from the sunlight is absorbed by pigments in leaves through photosynthesis, completed by autotrophs. Heterotrophs them consume the autotrophs and their once light energy. Eventually, the heterotrophs die and decomposers decompose their bodies that contain the once light energy and put it in the soil.

Answer:

The energy flow through living organisms starts with sunlight and photosynthesis, then travels through the food chain in bite sized chunks. Primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers are all part of the food chain. It's great to be an Omnivore.

Hope this helps!
