The sun
most living things get their energy from the sun, though indirectly. the bottom of the food chain depends on plants, then other animals eat those animals. Through each layer there is less energy being passed along, because most of the energy comes from the sun (and water and oxygen that plants need to produce energy), and is converted into usable energy by plants and the like
Energy is required for living things because they have to have energy to do every other characteristic of life. Living things obtain energy by making it themselves or eating other organisms.
When bonds form during cell processes, energy is released.
When bonds form during cell processes, energy is released.
Living things obtain energy indirectly through consuming other organisms or their byproducts. This process involves the transfer of energy through the food chain. Organisms at each trophic level consume those below them to obtain energy, allowing energy to flow throughout ecosystems.
The role the sun plays is that it gives energy to different living organisms.
Consumers secure energy from their surroundings. Consumers are organisms that obtain energy by consuming other living organisms, such as plants or other animals. Decomposers, on the other hand, break down dead organisms and organic matter to obtain energy.
Fungi get their energy from living or dead organisms. They will usually specialize in living or dead and it is rare that they can do both.
Living organisms obtain energy for cellular processes mostly through the process of cellular respiration, which converts glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules that can be utilized by cells for energy. Plants also use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
They obtain their energy by consuming other organisms.
Organisms that depend on the food energy stored in other living organisms are called heterotrophs. These organisms cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms to obtain energy for survival. Examples include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
Solar energy is stored in living organisms through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which can be stored as starch or cellulose. Animals, including humans, then obtain this stored energy by consuming plants or plant-eating animals.
