You cannot win! (that is, you cannot get something for nothing,
because matter and energy are conserved).Conservation of Energy
In any process, the quantity of energy in the universe remains constant.
You cannot break even! (you cannot return to the
same energy state, because there is always an increase in disorder;
ENTROPY always increases).The quality of this energy is degraded irreversibly.
You cannot get out of the game!

Photons
The more complex plantshave leaves.
Leaves are the energy factoriesof the plant, using sunlight,
carbon dioxide from air,and water to transform light
energy into food energy.
SUNLIGHTENERGY
Energy from the suntransforms carbon dioxide and water to form food energy.
Living things need food energy to grow and reproduce. Plantsmake their own food. The cowand the person need to get theirfood from ready-made sources.
Herbivore Omnivore
SUNLIGHTENERGY
The plant’s food energy is transferred
to the cow when the coweats the grass. The cow
uses this plant food energyto grow and reproduce.
SUNLIGHTENERGY
The cow’s food energy is transferred
to the person when the maneats a hamburger or a steak.
The personuses this cow food energyto grow and reproduce.

SUNLIGHTENERGY
The energy flows in onedirection through this
FOOD CHAIN,beginning with the sun,then the grass, the cow,
and last the person.

All living things depend on the sun for energy.
Plants are able to...
Carbon dioxide and water into food energyusing the sun’s energy.
...Become thick, juicy, and fleshy!
