When we eat, the energy we consume originally comes from the sun, which supports photosynthesis in plants. Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy, storing it in the form of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Animals then obtain this energy by consuming plants or other animals. Ultimately, the energy in our food traces back to the sun, highlighting the interconnectedness of ecosystems.
Rice originally came from China , they like to eat rice!
Energy from plants go to feed the fungi that ants and termites cultivate. Then the ants and termites eat those fungi, receiving that energy. The anteaters than eats the ants or termites, and gets the energy that originally came from the plants.
The answer you're looking for is.... Sun.
If you mean "we humans" - we take in energy by the food we eat. That food contains chemical energy.
Heterotrophs depend on the sun for energy because they eat other hetertophs and autotrophs. As you know autotrophs eat plants sp when a heterotroph eats one, it gets the energy. Or it receives it directly by eating the plants/autotrphs. I hope this answered your question. -Skylar =P OR~ The ultimate source is where the energy came from originally. Heterotrophs get their energy from autotrophs, which get their energy from the sun. So, that means the original (or ultimate) source of energy is the sun.

Energy passes from the sun to an earthworm the same way it does to most organisms: through the food it eats. Earthworms eat vegetation and the fungus that grows on vegetation and thus are getting the carbohydrates, proteins and fats stored by these organisms which originally came from the sun's energy being trapped by photosynthesis.
Plants use the sun´s energy (the energy in photons, light particles) to synthesize glucose from smaller chemical particles. They eventually use glucose to grow. Herbivores eat the plants and take up the energy in their cells, and use it to grow themselves. Carnivores may eat the herbivores and do the same.
The sun's energy is transferred to plants through photosynthesis, which convert sunlight into chemical energy. When you eat a burger and chips, you are consuming energy that was originally derived from the sun and stored in the plants. This energy is then transferred to you when you digest and metabolize the food.
