Animals at the bottom of the ocean do not see sunlight, so they likely get their energy from consuming other fish and plants.

What is the ultimate source for energy for food chains and webs?
microorganisms
How has evolution aided organisms in meeting their need for energy?
Some of the adaptations they develop through Evolution help them acquire energy.
What a foods web?
a food web is a model representing the many interconnected food chains and pathways on which energy flows through a group of organisms.
How do detritivores obtain energy?
i have no clue what the answer is i really hope sombody can answer this question
Why are microorganisms important in ocean food chains?
Microorganisms such as algae are photosynthetic and convert energy from the sunlight into usable energy for organisms. Since organisms are inefficient at converting energy when consuming organisms, there needs to be a constant inflow of energy to sustain higher levels of the food chain. The loss of energy also explains why there are lesser numbers of organisms higher up on the food chain.
How do food chain differ from food webs?
food chains are a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy,and a food web links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.
Why is the bottom part of the energy pyramid the largest?
The bottom part of energy pyramid consists of producers, hence it is largest. All the other organisms depend on primary producers for their energy requirement directly or indirectly.
Why do all food chains start with the sun?
Because the sun grows plants and plants feed animals and animals continue the food chain.
Where is the most energy in the pyramid?
The producers are found at the bottom. They contain the most amount of energy and the energy is transferred to other organisms in the food pyramid. [Consumers].
What organisms are typically found at the beginning of aquatic food chains?
A plant because they are producers but the sun supplies the energy for photosynthesis.
What would be located at the bottom of an energy pyramid found in the ocean?
In an energy pyramid, algae would be the substance found at the bottom trophic level. Algae are eukaryotic organisms, and can be unicellular or multicellular.
What do producers producer?
Producers produce energy, to put it simply. Food chains and webs are all about the flow of energy and who's getting energy from where. Since producers are at the bottom of food pyramids, they essentially produce energy.
