Organisms obtain energy through various processes, primarily through the consumption of food or sunlight. In plants, photosynthesis converts sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose, while animals obtain energy by consuming plants or other animals. This energy is then utilized through cellular respiration, where glucose and oxygen are converted into ATP, the energy currency of cells, powering biological functions and activities. Overall, the methods of energy acquisition and utilization vary significantly between different types of organisms.

Organisms obtain energy through various methods depending on their type. Autotrophs, like plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, while some bacteria utilize chemosynthesis. Heterotrophs, including animals and fungi, obtain energy by consuming other organisms, breaking down complex organic materials into simpler forms through digestion. This process releases energy stored in the chemical bonds of food, allowing organisms to grow and sustain their metabolic functions.
Archebacteria obtain their energy through various metabolic pathways such as chemosynthesis, where they harness chemical energy from inorganic compounds like sulfur or iron. They can also utilize sunlight through a process called phototrophy to produce energy. Additionally, some archebacteria can derive energy from organic molecules through fermentation or respiration.
An organism in the fourth level gets food from the sun by consuming organisms in the levels below it.
Chilomonas, a type of unicellular organism classified within the group of protozoa, primarily obtain their energy through heterotrophy. They feed on bacteria and other small organic particles in their aquatic environments, engulfing these food sources through a process called phagocytosis. Additionally, some species may also utilize photosynthesis if they contain chloroplasts, allowing them to convert light energy into chemical energy. This dual capability enables them to thrive in various ecological niches.

An omnivore is an organism that can eat both plants and animals to obtain energy. Examples of omnivores include humans, bears, and raccoons.
The sum of all chemical reactions that occur within cells of an organism is referred to as metabolism. Metabolism is the process by which organisms obtain and utilize energy for various cellular functions, such as growth, repair, and reproduction.
