The entire ecosystem depends on the Sun for its energy. Producers, mainly green plants, are at the bottom of the food chain in the ecosystem. The producers use the Sun's energy for photosynthesis, which converts the Sun's energy into chemical energy that can be passed on throughout the food chain. Therefore, every living thing in the ecosystem system depends on the Sun.

∙ 14y agoIt is the primary source of light in any ecosystem. Producers (i.e., plants, moss) use the sunlight to make their own food via ADP, ATP and the Krebs cycle. Consumers use the sunlight as a way to replenish some necessary vitamins in their bodies (e.g., vitamin D for humans) and also benefit from the healthy plants which grow well due to sunlight indirectly.

What provides energy in the ecosystem?
producers give energy in the ecosytem it comes from the sun to the producer then throughout the food web or chain
Which of the following statements describes the energy changes involved in an ecosystem?
The sun's energy is made available to an ecosystem by the plants in that ecosystem.
What role does sunlight play within an ecosystem?
it begins the energy in the food chain of an ecosystem. It goes from the sun to the producers to the consumers
What is the primary source of energy for all the organisms in the ecosystem represented below?
The trophic level that contains the organisms that are the source of all chemical energy used in an ecosystem is called the producer level. This level contains the organisms that can make their own food.
What direction does the energy flow in the ecosystem?
From the sun to plants to herbivores to carnivores to the earth.
What provides energy in the ecosystem?
producers give energy in the ecosytem it comes from the sun to the producer then throughout the food web or chain
What happens to energy in an ecosystem?
The energy in an ecosystem is used by the organisms in that ecosystem. In the case of the sun as energy, nothing happens because the sun always supplies energy.
What do the do in an ecosystem?
what do the sun do in a ecosystem
Are microorganisms important in food chains?
No, all food chains must start with a producer that harvests energy from the sun, and distributes it throughout the ecosystem.
What is the sun to an ecosystem?
the sun is the root of all life of earth so it's the most important element of an ecosystem
How does circulating water in standing water ecosystem affect the ecosystem?
Helps didtribute heat, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the ecosystem.
How does the circulating water in a standing-water ecosystem affect the ecosystem?
Helps didtribute heat, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the ecosystem.
Are there producers in Lion King?
Yes, there are as a producer as in an ecosystem would be the sun and the grass.
What describes the energy changes involved in an ecosystem?
The sun's energy is made available to an ecosystem by the plants in that ecosystem.
How can there be an ecosystem within an ecosystem?
Ecosystems do not have to be completely the same throughout, they can have regional variations. So an ecosystem within an ecosystem is much like a neighborhood within a city.
What is the term used for sunflowers when they move throughout the day to face the sun?
Heliotrophism
How is energy from the sun useful to an ecosystem?
the sun makes plants grow
