I will answer this question on the basis that you know what a food web is. Well, for those who do not, it is a food chain but encompassing a system rather than focusing on an organism.
The ultimate source of energy would be PLANTS! Plants that can generate their own food through nutrients from the soil and with aid from water and sunlight all of which being non living things and thus we conclude as herbivores eat plants and carnivores eat herbivores and other carnivores and plants who generate their own food eat none of the above they are the ultimate source of energy that you would consider in a food web.
I am not sure you would consider sunlight as part of the food-web and thus conclude that the sun is the ultimate source of energy, but from what I learnt when I was younger was that PLANTS are the ultimate source of energy.
Hope I Helped

How is energy transferred through a food web and food chain using law of conversation of energy?
In a food chain and food web the energy is getting reused by the next level so the energy is not being created or distorted, just reused.
What is the sequence in which energy is transferred from one organism to another called?
A food chain.
Why is a food web more accurate than a food chain in describing how energy is transferred throughout an ecosystem?
because it has different food chains in it
How is energy transferred from one living things to another?
there are many diffrent ways that energy can be transfered from one thing to another. but when i thisk of this topic, i think of a food chain or a food web. in a food chain or food web, it shows where the energy is going, therefore, shows who is getting eaten by what.
How much energy is transferred from one organism to the next in a food chain or a food web?
10 percent of the suns energy is passed down from each organism. it is passed down by an organism eating another.
What are similarities between food web and food chain?
they both involve animals eating eachother both have a good concept of how energy is transferred when an animal eats another
What type of organisms provides the base of a food web?
The base organisms in a food web are called producers. These organisms contain the most energy and in most cases are plants.
Plant and animals get energy from what?
Animals get their energy from the food that they eat. Herbivores get food from plants which produce their own food during photosynthesis. Omnivores get food from both plants and animals. On the other hands, carnivores eat other animals as food to get energy. For example: Plant >> Chicken >> Human For this food web, the energy is transferred from the plant to the chicken then to the human. But not all the energy produced by the plant is transferred. Some of the energy but used up by the chicken so only some energy are passed on to the human.
What energy role is the cat in the food web?
what energy role does the cat play in the food web
What has the largest population on the food web because they have the most energy?
Decompose rs
How life depends upon solar energy in their survival?
Autotrophs fix solar energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis. This glucose and the chemical energy within, is consumed and transferred along the food web to all other heterotrophs.
What do arrows in foodweb indicate?
The answer to this question is very simple. The arrows on a food web represent the flow of energy. It show what is eatin by what and that the energy is transferred from the eatin to the eaters. Like I said the answer is very simple
