In order to see if all organisms get their food from sunlight, we must first see what an organism is. An organism is a living thing that dies if it is not nourished. The only organisms that get food from sunlight are plants. Fungi and animals gain nourishment from extensive root like systems and ingestion, respectively.

Do all organisms acquire energy directly or indirectly from sunlight?

No, not all organisms acquire energy directly from sunlight. Primary producers such as plants and some types of bacteria use sunlight to perform photosynthesis and produce their own energy. However, other organisms, such as animals and fungi, acquire energy indirectly by consuming these primary producers or other organisms in the food chain.


Organisms that change the energy in sunlight into food are called?

Organisms that change the energy in sunlight into food are called autotrophs. They are able to perform photosynthesis, a process in which they use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like glucose. This ability to produce their own food is essential for the survival of many living organisms.

Which process makes sunlight energy available to all organisms in an ecosystem?

Photosynthesis is the process by which sunlight energy is converted into chemical energy by plants. This energy is then transferred to other organisms in the ecosystem through food chains and webs.


A characteristic not present in all living things is?
