Ultimately - the Sun, or at least the radiated light and heat energy given off by it

If people can't create energy then where do we get energy?

We use energy that has been in existence, in some form, since the beginning of the Universe. Actually, humans do "create" energy. We use a chemical process to break down various food molecules, releasing the bonding energy which formerly held such molecules together.


Explain how most energy used on earth can be traced back to the sun?

Photoautotrophs (mostly) are the only organisms which can produce their own food using the energy from the Sun. All other organisms either have to eat plants (primary consumers) or eat animals that eat plants (secondary consumers). There are relatively few tertiary consumers.


Can all food be traced to animals?

no, have you ever ate a nut?


What type of energy do humans produce?

Energy in humans is in the form of ATP molecules (adenosine triphosphate)


Are all humans traced down to atoms?

I'm not sure what you mean by "traced down", but it's true that every part of every human is made of atoms.


How do pets get energy from food?

It's a pretty simple answer actually. Food has calories. When it's consumed, the calories are transformed into energy. If the animal does not expell all the energy that it is capable of, the calories are then turned to fat. This is the same for humans.


The process by which cells get energy from food is called what?

Metabolism is the use of energy by cells. All animals get energy from nutrients through metabolism. Humans an other animals eat food to get energy.


Why human must eat?

Humans are animals, and all animals require energy to move, and reproduce. They obtain that energy from ingesting food, and digesting it.


True or false All energy on earth can be traced back to the sun?

True. With the exception of geothermal energy, all forms of energy on Earth ultimately originate from the Sun. Solar energy fuels photosynthesis, which creates biomass and fossil fuels, and also drives weather patterns and ocean currents.


Where does energy for all life actions and materials to build body tissue come from?

Energy for all life actions and materials to build body tissue come from the food that we consume. Our body breaks down food into nutrients like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which are then converted into energy through processes like cellular respiration. This energy is used for various bodily functions and to build and repair tissues.


Infer how the energy used by many living things on earth can be traced back to sun light?

Plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose through photosynthesis. This glucose is used by plants for energy and growth. When animals eat plants, they obtain the stored energy from glucose, and this energy is transferred through the food chain as animals are consumed by other animals. Ultimately, all energy used by living things can be traced back to the original source of sunlight that was captured by plants.


What is it called when humans use oxygen to help breakdown food and release energy in a process?

For Humans, as well as All other Organisms, these Biochemical processes are 'collectively' known as Respiration.
