Which energy source is a gaseous fossil fuel from the remains of tiny organisms in the oceans?
Natural gas (methane, CH4).
When an organism can survive without oxygen it is called this?
An organism is described as anaerobic [from the Greek word "an" (opposite) and "aerobio" (air-lived)] if it does not require oxygen in order to survive. Instead, anaerobic organisms use anaerobic respiration to obtain energy from food. Most anaerobic organisms are microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, and internal parasites that live in places where there is never much oxygen, such as in the mud at the bottom of a lake or pond, or in the alimentary canal. Anaerobic organisms release much less of the available energy from their food than do aerobic organisms.
Does soil require energy for metabolism?
The short answer is: No, soil is never metabolized so energy is not required for its metabolism. More specifically: By definition, only living organisms metabolize anything. And, when they do, energy is always required. But the metabolism of soil never occurs as soil itself contains no nutrient and remains undigested and is excreted unchanged when a living organism ingests it. Two examples of ingesting soil come to mind among higher organisms: Earthworms do eat some wet soil so as to extract vegetable matter from it, but they metabolize only the latter and excrete the soil unchanged and therefore not metabolized. Elephants are also known to eat some soil from which their organism selects useful bacteria to keep but excretes the soil undigested and therefore not metabolized. Among lower organisms, plants do not ingest soil but extract soluble minerals and electrolytes from it through their roots and metabolize these using energy.
How did plants and animals get their energy before they became fossil fuels?
Plants derive energy through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy. Animals obtain their energy by consuming plants or other animals. In this way, energy flows through the food chain, with each organism relying on the energy stored in the organisms they consume. Before the formation of fossil fuels, the primary sources of energy were natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, and organic matter from living organisms.
List the types of organisms that energy flows through in an ecosystem?
When it comes to the flow of energy in ecosystems there are two types of organisms: producers and consumers.

What does descomposer mean?
They are the bacteria involved in making something rot.
How energy transfer from organism to another?
Energy transfers from one organism to another by organisms eating other organisms in a food chain or web.
What is a producer consumer and decomposer?
Some example of producers are plants and lichen (organisms that do not need to get their food, they make their own food) one example of consumers are bears (organisms that eat other organisms to get food) one example of decomposer are mushrooms (organisms that get their food by breaking down the nutrients in dead organisms or animal wastes
What are organisms that get energy by other organism?
producers .
What is a cars energy source?
Ultimately the Sun. Cars run on fossil fuels which is made from the remains of organism that lived and grew on the planet in the past. These living organisms depended on sunlight as the source of their energy.
How do organism in each of the three energy roles obtain chemical energy?
Producers Consumer Decomposer
