most living things get their energy from the sun, though indirectly. the bottom of the food chain depends on plants, then other animals eat those animals. Through each layer there is less energy being passed along, because most of the energy comes from the sun (and water and oxygen that plants need to produce energy), and is converted into usable energy by plants and the like
