If plants get their energy from the sun, does that mean that vegans run on solar power?

Question

I mean, is solar power more direct by skippping the meat in the food chain? Does someone that only eats fruits and vegetables get their energy more directly?

Answer 1

yesss.and plants need water for photosynthesis,which also makes vegans run on hydrolic power...

Answer 2

This is a point I am always trying to make with my students! Thank-you for asking this!

Yes, with the exception of chemosynthetic organisms that live at the bottom of the oceans and some extreme bacteria that live DEEP underground, everything else is "solar powered". These other guys do not use photosynthesis at ALL, but instead, absorb nutrients directly from the rocks or seawater through a symbiotic process.

Answer 3

Yes. And, animals get their energy from plants that get their energy from the sun, so meat-eaters also run on solar power.

Answer 4

That's hilarious! We should wear solar powered hats...then maybe I wouldn't have to load up on so much caffeine all day! Just take a little stroll around the block in the afternoon for a recharge. Hey...we may be on to something...

Answer 5

You do realize that everything runs on solar power, right?

We eat animals, which ultimately eat the plants. Also, the fossil fuels we burn, we call them fossil fuels for a reason. They're hydrocarbons from long-dead organisms that used to be alive thanks to the sun. Technically our cars are solar powered too ;)

Answer 6

Everything runs on solar power

Answer 7

Yes. Solar power and natural gas.

Answer 8

Yes. But then, so do the rest of us. Everything we eat either eats plants, or eats something that eats plants. So without the sun, no plants, and without plants, no animals.

Answer 9

Would they work without the sun?

Answer 10

it's been my experience that vegans run on gas, gas from eating beans

Answer 11
