The host that algae eat, typically a plant or an animal, gets its energy primarily from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. In photosynthetic organisms like plants, chlorophyll captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy stored in glucose. In the case of animals, they obtain energy by consuming plants or other animals that have already converted solar energy into usable forms. Thus, the energy flow in this process ultimately starts with sunlight, which fuels the entire food web.
