C4.2.2—Sunlight as principal energy source Topic Practice
Practise explaining sunlight as the starting energy source for ecosystems and how photosynthesis converts light into chemical energy for food chains.
How this is tested
- state sunlight or solar energy as the initial source for food chains when supported
- explain how autotrophs capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy
- link photosynthesis in producers to energy flow through consumers in ecosystems
