What organism does not dependent on the sun?

Thermophiles are bacteria that live in high temperature environments. Some have been found around deep sea vents (such as in the Indian Ocean) and survive on the sulphur, hydrogen and carbon dioxide being released from the vents, thus making them independant from using any of the sun's energy. Therefore these thermophiles are dependant on the Earth's inner structure and theoretically we couldn't have an Earth without a star such as our sun to revolve around. So indirectly these thermophiles still need the sun. However, their energy is not dependant on the sun > producer > consumer hierachy typically seen in energy flow diagrams.


Why does all energy on earth start with the sun?

Good question. Since the Sun is our primary power source, it is the first step in analyzing where the energy from something comes from. Let's look at a nice T-bone steak for example. So on a bright, sunny day, the Sun is shining down on some grass. The grass grows enough and then the cattle farmer lets his heard out to graze. So the cow takes in the grass which was already taking in energy from the Sun. The cow will continue to do this, gathering food from the grass and therefore, energy from the Sun. The next step is a consumer buying the meat at a grocery store. When you cook and eat the steak, you will be consuming food in the form of that cow, which got its energy form the grass, which in turn got its energy from the Sun. Thus, the Sun is our source of energy for everything in our world. Everything can thus be traced back to the Sun as its primary supplier of energy.

Is the Sun a producer or a consumer?

Producers make organic food molecules from Co2, H2Om and other inorganic raw materials. Consumers obtain their food by eating plants or animals that have eaten plants. Between the two, I'd say Producer. This is like asking if a combustion engine is a producer or consumer, it's very illogical.watevalol In ecology a producer is a photosynthetic green plant or chemosynthetic bacterium, constituting the first trophic level in a food chain; an autotrophic organism. So the sun is not a producer in ecological terms.


What is the primary source of energy in a food web?

Ultimately, the energy that drives a food chain is solar energy. Plants absorb and convert this energy, which insects, birds, and other herbivores transfer up the food chain until it reaches humans.
