A student created a model showing energy flow in a meadow. Which statement shows how plants support this energy flow?(1 point) Responses Plants get energy from the soil and pass it on to consumers. Plants get energy from the soil and pass it on to consumers. Plants are consumers, so they get energy from producers. Plants are consumers, so they get energy from producers. Plants absorb energy from the sun and store it as glucose, which is eaten by consumers. Plants absorb energy from the sun and store it as glucose, which is eaten by consumers.

Answer 1

The correct statement that shows how plants support energy flow in a meadow is:

"Plants absorb energy from the sun and store it as glucose, which is eaten by consumers."

This statement accurately describes the role of plants as primary producers in an ecosystem, capturing solar energy through photosynthesis and converting it into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This stored energy is then available to consumers that feed on the plants.
