Ultimately all organisms depend on sunlight - plants use it for photosynthesis, consequently anything consuming plants relies on it indirectly and anything that then consumes those animals that eat the plants then (again) ultimately relies on the energy of the Sun.
They all depend on the sun.
prairie grass
because it provides energy to the organism in the terrestrial ecosystem
All Organism need Food to promote growth and for energy.
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.
Bacteria produces its own food
The three energy roles in an ecosystem are producers, consumers, and decomposers. ;)
Kinda, a producer provides food for all the heterotrophs in an ecosystem, a heterotroph being any organism that consume other organisms for energy. However, sunlight provides food for the producer, so indirectly sunlight provides food for an ecosystem.
- The organisms have to fit into the energy pyramid- The largest number of organism in any ecosystem needs to be the producers- The smallest number of organism need to be the highest level of consumers in that ecosystem
An organism that is the source of all food in an ecosystem is called a producer. A consumer gets its energy by feeding on other organisms.

The energy provides the best picture of overall nature of the ecosystem. The pyramid of energy shows the amount of total energy trapped by the organism at each tropic level in a unit area and time.

Energy is passed through an ecosystem through the organisms within it. The sun produces all energy within an ecosystem. As the sun produces energy, it is absorbed by the producers (plants) through photosynthesis. These plants are then consumed by other organisms. The energy decreases by 10% as it is being passed from organism to organism. For example, if grass is the producer it absorbs 100% of the energy from the sun. This grass is then consumed by a small herbivore, which receives only 10% of the original energy. Where does the energy go? The energy has been lost through heat, and it was also used to live, grow, and reproduce.
Usually, energy leaves the ecosystem when an organism leaves the ecosystem, they usually leave by death.
