Organisms depend on one another in various ways to capture, convert, and release energy through intricate ecological relationships. For instance, plants capture energy from sunlight through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain. Herbivores then consume these plants to convert that stored energy into forms they can use, while carnivores eat herbivores, further transferring energy through the ecosystem. Additionally, decomposers break down dead organic matter, releasing nutrients back into the soil, which supports plant growth and continues the cycle of energy flow.
Carnivores depend on other animals for matter and energy.
Some unicellular organisms called Archaea do not have mitochondria and rely on other cellular processes to generate energy. Additionally, some parasitic or symbiotic organisms may lack mitochondria as they obtain energy from their host.
Deep sea organisms living near hydrothermal vents do not rely on sunlight for energy. Instead, they derive energy from chemicals present in the hydrothermal fluids. These organisms form unique ecosystems that are independent of photosynthesis.
Energy is passed between organisms through food consumption, as organisms obtain energy by consuming other organisms or their products. Energy is also passed between organisms through symbiotic relationships, such as parasitism, where one organism benefits by extracting energy from another organism.
Producers do not depend on other organisms in quite the same was as consumers do. They depend directly on the sun for energy. Other organisms do influence producers though, such as fellow producers competing for sunlight (blocking out from other producers) as well as consumers, which are a danger to producers.

All living organisms, that are catagorized as consumers, depend on eating other organisms for energy, although, producers create their own energy from the abiotic features of an ecosystem.
Organisms that depend on the food energy stored in other living organisms are called heterotrophs. These organisms cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms to obtain energy for survival. Examples include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
Energy transfers from one organism to another by organisms eating other organisms in a food chain or web.
Living things depend on one another in various ways within ecosystems. Within a food chain, organisms rely on others for food and energy. Additionally, organisms can also depend on each other for things like pollination, shelter, and protection. These dependencies create a delicate balance within ecosystems that allows for the survival and thriving of multiple species.
Yes, organisms that perform photosynthesis, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria, depend on sunlight for energy. Through the process of photosynthesis, these organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy that they can use for growth and survival.

Living organism depend on plants because of the plants capability to do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is converting the sun energy into a glucose type sugar. Sugar is a type of energy that all living organisms need.
