Generally most anything in the food chain above the bottom (generally plants) level. Plants, many algae, and a small number of other more unusual organisms depend on sunlight for energy. Mammals, birds, fish, humans, reptiles, insects etc. (who need the sun to warm their blood) are only indirectly dependent on the sun for their energy.

Who do producers depend on in an ecosystem?

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.


Is there a living thing that does not depend on plants?

Yes, some deep-sea ecosystems are based on chemosynthesis where bacteria use chemicals from hydrothermal vents to produce energy instead of relying on sunlight or plants. These ecosystems can support diverse life forms that do not depend directly on plants for their energy source.


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.


What do solar cells transfer sunlight directly into?

Solar cells transfer sunlight directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect, where sunlight is converted into electrical energy by generating an electric current when photons hit the cell's semiconductor material.


Do cells without chloroplasts also depend on sunlight for their food?

Cells without chloroplasts, such as animal cells, do not rely on sunlight directly for food production because they cannot perform photosynthesis like cells with chloroplasts. Instead, these cells obtain their energy by breaking down molecules through processes like cellular respiration.

Do some organisms depend on sunlight for energy?

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.


Thinking critically on what single energy source do most energy alternatives depend either directly or indirectly?

Most energy alternatives depend either directly or indirectly on the sun as the primary energy source. This includes solar power, wind power (driven by the sun's uneven heating of the Earth), hydropower (driven by the water cycle powered by the sun), and even biomass energy (plants use sunlight for photosynthesis).


How does a rabbit depend on energy from the sun?

Rabbits indirectly depend on the sun for energy by consuming plants that use sunlight to grow. Through photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into energy which is then consumed by rabbits as food to provide them with energy for their own growth and survival.


How you depend on the sunlight to obtain energy?

Solar products convert the energy sunlight directly into what?

Electricity

Why we depend on the sun for energy?

Because it is sunlight that powers photosynthesis (producing all the food we eat) and fossil sunlight that is the energy contained in fossil fuels.


Do plants get their energy directly from the sun?

Yes, the leaves absorb the sunlight


Supplies all the energy directly or indirectly for life on earth?

sunlight


What includes organism that can directly convert energy in sunlight into food?

omnivores


What depend on plants?

Animals only depend on plants if they are herbavores and if they do depend on plants they eat them to get the energy the plants make from sunlight using photosyntheses.


All land dwelling living things depend on what as the initial source of energy?

The correct answer would be the sun or sunlight.
