The sun... study island cheaters...
Most of the energy in Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and living systems comes from the Sun. Sunlight is absorbed by the Earth's surface and is then transformed into various forms of energy that drive atmospheric processes, ocean currents, and support photosynthesis in living organisms. This energy is vital for sustaining life on Earth.

The movements of energy and nutrients through living systems are different because energy flows unidirectionally and cannot be recycled, while nutrients cycle within ecosystems and can be reused. Energy enters ecosystems through sunlight and is lost as heat, whereas nutrients are constantly recycled through biogeochemical processes.
Energy is the capacity to do work or cause change. It can exist in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, or chemical energy. Energy is essential for all processes in the universe, including the functioning of living organisms and technological systems.
Photobioenergetics is the study of how light energy is utilized by biological systems to drive various energy conversion processes, such as photosynthesis in plants and algae. It focuses on the interactions between light, organisms, and energy production in living systems.
The energy requirements of living systems include being able to move. These living systems also need energy to eat and to hunt.
The sun, respiration, photosynthesis and food are all sources of energy for living things.
EXACTLY that same as non-living systems.
solar energy
Yes photosynthesis stores energy and respiration releases energy

Living systems must constantly replenish matter in the system by the absorption and metabolism of nutrients. Additionally living systems require energy to remain alive. Nutrients are also used to produce this energy.
In living systems, energy flows, and matter cycles. Hope this helps!
On Earth - it's the Sun.
