At the base of nearly every ecosystem on Earth is the energy from sunlight. There are rare examples in the abyssal plains/trenches where chemosynthesis takes place due to internal heat and exhaust from the asthenosphere/magma layer. However, since most ecosystems include photosynthetic plants, the energy from sunlight forms the basis for most energy in the system.

Why do you have ecosystems?
We have ecosystems to live. Ecosystems give us energy,oxygen and many other things. Earth is the only planet which have ecosystems.
Where does energy originate in most ecosystems?
By plants
What are the most important transformers of energy in ecosystems?
Algae
Where does the energy of most ecosystems come from?

Why do all living things depend on green plants?
Living organism depend on plants because of the plants capability to do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is converting the sun energy into a glucose type sugar. Sugar is a type of energy that all living organisms need.
What is the ultimate source of energy for ecosystems?
The sun is the ultimate source of energy for almost all earth ecosystems.
Why do you have ecosystems?

Differences of the carbon and energy in ecosystems?
Carbon is carbon and energy is energy.
How do people effect the ecosystem?
Well people destroy a lot of ecosystems. But some people help ecosystems. It all depend's on who you are.
What do ecosystems depend on?
well, it's basically mainly the sun as yeh, the ecosystems relies on the sun for light nutrients etc.
How do top-level consumers such as hawks depend on sunlight for their food?
Most ecosystems ultimately rely on sunlight as the source of energy. Sunlight is used by plants to manufacture food. Plants are eaten by herbivores, and herbivores are in turn eaten by top-level consumers like hawks. Therefore hawks ultimately depend on sunlight for their food. At the bottom of the sea, near thermal vents, scientists have discovered new ecosystems that do not rely on sunlight, but on the chemicals and heat present at those vents as a source of energy for bacteria, which are eaten by larger organisms. The top level consumers in those ecosystems do not depend on sunlight for their food.
