As we all know life processes come from sunlight.

The ultimate source of energy for life processes comes from the sun. This energy enters the earth's food chains through photosynthesis.

The energy not used for life processes is lost as heat. This excess energy is released as heat when organisms metabolize food for energy. This heat is then dissipated into the environment.

to sustain life
Solar energy drives all the processes important to life on Earth.
Most of the energy for life processes originally comes from the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other autotrophic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy that is then used by heterotrophic organisms for their own life processes.
Producers use about 90 percent of the food energy they make during photosynthesis for their life processes.
In heterotrophs, energy for life processes comes from the chemical energy stored in the bonds of organic molecules, such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This energy is released through processes like cellular respiration to fuel cellular activities.
