Living things depend on energy from?

All living things depend on energy from the sun. Even though animals get their energy from either plants or from animals that eat plants, those plants get their energy from the sun, so it all comes back to the sun.


What kind of food do plants provide us?

this is coming staight out of my 7th grade science textbook: Heterotrophs are animals that get their food from other living things. They eat them, which gives them their energy. All animals are heterotrophs. All plants are Autotrophs. Autotrophs are plants that make their own food. They get their energy not from eating other things like animals, but from the sunlight. That's why plants need sunlight to live, because it's their food. No, not because they will get all crispy and brown if they don't have sunlight. (well, yes, that too) EVERY living organism gets their food (energy) from sunlight. Plants get it directly (photosynthesis) and animals get it by eating plants or other animals that have eaten plants.


Do all living things need energy. true or false?

Not directly but we eat animals that eat plants that need the sun


Do all organisms acquire energy directly or indirectly from sunlight?

No, not all organisms acquire energy directly from sunlight. Primary producers such as plants and some types of bacteria use sunlight to perform photosynthesis and produce their own energy. However, other organisms, such as animals and fungi, acquire energy indirectly by consuming these primary producers or other organisms in the food chain.


Do the autotrophic cells in either plants or animals?

Autotrophic cells are found in plants, where they use chlorophyll to perform photosynthesis and produce energy from sunlight. Animals do not contain autotrophic cells; they are heterotrophic and must consume other organisms for energy.

What do Nearly all living things obtain energy either directly or?

Photosynthesis gives plants energy, and when animals eat the plants, they gain energy from the plants. And, of course, when animals eat other animals, they indirectly obtain energy from the plants, which get their energy from the sun. So, the answer would be the sun.


Why do all animals depends on plants for food?

Look at it this way:-All life needs energy, to grow, move, reproduce etc.The source of this energy is the light from our local star (the Sun).Animals can not make thir own food or use of sunlight directly - they obtain the energy they need by eating plants or other animals that eat plants. Animals are consumers.Plants however can make direct use of sunlight, their green leaves trap the sunlight and store the energy of the sunlight as chemical energy in sugars which they produce. Plants are therefore called producers.Thus as you can see plants form the basis of the energy supply for all animals.


How do animals capture energy from the sun?

Two ways. Eating plants that access the energy of sunlight directly. or, Eating the animals that eat the plants, or eating the animals that eat the animals that eat the plants. All animals are heterotrophs. They can not synthesize their own food.


Do all organisms get there energy from the sun?

No, not all organisms get their energy directly from the sun. While organisms like plants use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, other organisms like animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals. This creates a food chain where energy is transferred from one organism to another.


Does your body get all its energy from sun . explain?

Yes - indirectly. We get energy from the food we eat, which comes from animals or plants; animals also get their energy from plants; and plants get the energy from sunlight.


Because plants are eaten by animals almost all life on earth is directly or indirectly...?

Because plants are eaten by animals, almost all life on Earth is directly indirectly...


What uses energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food?

Plants use energy from sunlight during the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (energy-rich food) and oxygen. This is how plants produce their own food and release oxygen as a byproduct.


What animal Needs the sun to be active?

All animals need sunlight to be active, weather directly or not. For example animals who eat plants need sunlight to make the plants that they eat to get energy. For meat eaters its a bit more complicated. They eat the animals who eat plants who use the sun. so indirectly all animals need sunlight.


What food sources do you get energy from?

You get energy from all food sources. There are plants and then there's meat. You get direct energy from eating plants. When you eat animals, you get the energy that they got from eating plants.


What role does the sun play in making fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels wwwwwwwere once living plants and animals. If they were plants they got their energy from the sun, and if they were animals they got their energy from eating plants who got their energy from the sun, or from eating animals who ate animals who ate plants who got their energy from the sun. In other words the sun is the source of all energy. The sun´s energy is stored in living beings, in plants and the animals that eat the plants, and if conditions are right, that energy is then stored in the form of fossil fuels.
