Well, most of the energy in living systems can be traced from the sun. The sun emits photons of light, and this light powers photosynthesis in plants, allowing plants to convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen. This energy stored in oxygen and carbohydrates can then be harnessed by non-autotrophs such asgrasshoppers birds, humans, etc.
