Energy source of most life on earth?

Most life on earth, gets there energy source from the sun, that is assuming that the majority of life on earth are autotrophs (plants). They get this energy by photosynthesising and getting a energy source called glucose, which is used in nearly all organisms on earth... they can then use glucose as a respiratory substrate, for respiration... Hope this helps :)


What is the source of heat and light for all the plants?

The sun is the source of heat and light for plant-life.


What are the 2 sources of energy for all life on earth?

Sun and Food ( that includes water)


What is the roots of all from of energy?

Historically, it was the Sun, which created the plant life and animal life used to make energy, and which formed fossil fuels. Even hydroelectric energy is dependent on solar heating to return water to its sources. And because we now have nuclear energy, the answer could be "from nuclear reactions" -- fusion on the Sun and fission in nuclear generators. This, however, neglects the use of tidal energy and geothermal energy. Tidal energy is caused primarily by the gravitation of the Earth and Moon, not the Sun. And geothermal energy is drawn from magma formed by crustal movements, which ultimately are driven by the Earth's hot core. The heat there is a combination of radioactive heat, tidal heat from the Sun's gravity, and energy left from the formation of the planet. The ultimate source, therefore would have to be "gravity" because it formed the Sun and planets, keeps fusion going, moves the tides, and keeps the Earth's core hot enough to produce tectonics.


Why is the sun considere d earth main energy source?

The sun is a major source of power.....because, it gives us warmth, and light-well duh! It also can be used with solar panels, just simply buy a solar panel, put it outside, and that solar panel will power your WHOLE house! Its better to put out solar panels if you live in another place. sorry its not very clear, but i hope it will do!
