Question: How do producers get energy?
Answer: using the sun to make food
Hypothesis: producers get energy by using the sun to make food
Supporting facts: sent1: one can get something from a source sent2: solar power means solar energy sent3: photosynthesis is a kind of chemical process sent4: if a thing uses something that comes from a source then that thing uses the source of that something sent5: food contains carbohydrates sent6: producers pass materials they use through the food chain sent7: photosynthesis stores / captures energy sent8: food is a source of energy for plants sent9: a plant is a kind of living thing sent10: production is similar to making sent11: green plant is a kind of plant sent12: to provide something means to be the source of that something sent13: to give off means to be the source of sent14: green plants provide food for themselves / animals / consumers by performing photosynthesis sent15: the sun is the source of solar energy called sunlight sent16: making something is a kind of method for providing something sent17: where something comes from is a source of that something sent18: a plant requires sunlight for photosynthesis sent19: if a living thing requires something for a process then that living thing uses that something for that process sent20: a plant requires photosynthesis to grow / survive sent21: the photosynthetic life performs photosynthesis sent22: something is used for that something 's purpose sent23: photosynthesizing means performing photosynthesis sent24: green plants are a kind of producer sent25: sunlight means solar energy
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] green plants are a kind of producer [AND] food is a source of energy for plants [INFER] int1: food is a source of energy for producers [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] one can get something from a source [INFER] int2: producers can get energy from food [BECAUSE] green plants provide food for themselves / animals / consumers by performing photosynthesis [AND] making something is a kind of method for providing something [INFER] int3: green plants make food by performing photosynthesis [BECAUSE] if a living thing requires something for a process then that living thing uses that something for that process [AND] photosynthesis is a kind of chemical process [INFER] int4: if a living thing requires something for photosynthesis then that living thing uses that something for photosynthesis [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] a plant requires sunlight for photosynthesis [AND] a plant is a kind of living thing [INFER] int5: a plant uses sunlight for photosynthesis [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] green plant is a kind of plant [INFER] int6: green plant uses sunlight for photosynthesis [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] int6 [INFER] int7: a green plant uses sunlight to make food [BECAUSE] the sun is the source of solar energy called sunlight [AND] if a thing uses something that comes from a source then that thing uses the source of that something [INFER] int8: if a thing uses sunlight then that thing uses the sun [BECAUSE] int7 [AND] int8 [INFER] int9: a green plant uses the sun to make food [BECAUSE] int9 [AND] green plants are a kind of producer [INFER] int10: a producer uses the sun to make food [BECAUSE] int10 [AND] int2 [INFER] int11: producers get energy by using the sun to make food
