Explain how energy from the sun is captured by plants and how it moves through a basic food chain.

• A. Sunlight is captured by chlorophyll in photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose; energy then flows to herbivores and carnivores; energy is lost as heat at each transfer
• B. Sunlight energy is stored as electricity
• C. Plants use energy but do not pass it to other organisms
• D. Herbivores produce energy from sunlight directly
