The answer to this question is extraordinarily involved, but I will try to answer it briefly. Food is eaten and broken down by physical and chemical processes into its most basic components - carbohydrates, proteins (and amino acids), and lipids. These molecules are used as building blocks and energy sources. The primary method of energy production utilized by cells is an aerobic process known as the Krebs cycle or the citric acid cycle. In this process, which itself is incredibly involved, glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid, which in turn is used in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and NADH. Both of these molecules contain high amounts of potential energy in the form of electrons. When ATP is used, the electron is stripped off and kinetic energy is released and used. ADP and a phosphate group are the resultant molecules, and they are 'recycled' to produce more ATP. NADH feeds its electrons into the Electron Transfer Chain in the mitochondria, producing very large amounts of ATP to be used in other cellular processes.
Living things get energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. Plants, algae, and some bacteria contain chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This glucose is then used as a source of energy for growth and maintenance within the living organism.
In many ways, but one of the more obvious ways is helping to grow plants that provide food for us and other animals.
Also, without the energy from the sun, the world would be to cold for us to live and for life as we know it to exist.
The energy from the sun enters through autotrophs.

The primary source of energy for living organisms is the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose, which is used by all living things as a source of fuel for cellular processes.
The source of energy for most living things is the sun. Plants use sunlight to perform photosynthesis and convert it into energy, which is then consumed by other organisms in the food chain for their survival.
Yes, living things can produce energy through processes like cellular respiration where they break down organic molecules to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency in cells. Plants also produce energy through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy.
Thermal energy is present in all matter as it represents the internal energy of a substance due to the movement of its atoms and molecules. Common examples of things that have thermal energy include hot water, heated metal, the sun, and even our own bodies.
The sun radiates light and heat energy.
To answer it is The Sun.

Living things depend on energy from nutrients in their food. This energy is used for various biological processes like growth, movement, and reproduction. Without this energy source, living organisms would not be able to survive.
The sun, respiration, photosynthesis and food are all sources of energy for living things.
Yes, the energy contained in biomass is that gleaned from the Sun by living things.
Living things get their energy from sun,soil,water,food?
i believe it's used as energy in all living things
All the energy we use to in living things.
The original source of energy for all living things is the sun. Plants capture sunlight through photosynthesis to produce energy-rich molecules that are used as fuel by organisms throughout the food chain.
