The sun is a source of energy but we cant use it for ourselves other than staying warm. the main source of energy for most living things are nucleic acids, they send chemical reactions to the body that make us who we are -Edited by Jordan R.
The sun.Without the sun life on earth would soon stop because all available carbon (the basis of all life forms on Earth) would be used up.A few ecosystems get their energy partially or entirely from geothermal sources. The original source of this energy is radioactive decay heat from isotopes in the crust, mantle, and core.Both the sun and earth were formed from matter ejected and/or compressed by supernova explosions. So the original source for both the energy from the sun and from radioactive decay heat was supernovas.Ultimately the original source of all energy was the Big Bang.
The original source of energy for food webs is the sun. Plants and other producers use sunlight to photosynthesize and convert it into chemical energy, which is then passed on to consumers through feeding relationships.
The original source of an ecosystem is the sunlight that provides energy for photosynthesis, the process by which plants produce food. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume one another. Ultimately, this energy originates from the sun.
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.
Carbohydrates are used as an energy source for many animals and plants. Examples: potato makes starch to store energy and animals eat them to gain the energy they need. Also sugars, which are monomers, are used by the plants as energy source by photosynthesis. Second example would be that insects use a carbohydrate called chitin which is used to build their exoskeleton.
The sun its so simple
The original source of energy for animals is the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into energy stored in carbohydrates, which animals then consume to obtain energy for their own metabolic processes.
The original source of all food energy on Earth is the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into energy that is stored in the form of carbohydrates. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as animals consume plants or other animals.
The energy source is the sun. Plants use solar energy to produce the foods they need for growth. Animals feed on the plants or feed on animals that eat plants.
The original source of biomass energy is organic matter derived from plants and animals that have absorbed sunlight through photosynthesis. Fossil fuel energy originates from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago and have undergone geological processes like heat and pressure to become coal, oil, and natural gas.

ATP is an immediate source of energy for animals and all living things.
The original source of energy in the biosphere is sunlight. Plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis, which is then used by living organisms as a source of energy.
Only as an energy source, it requires amino acids for animals to make proteins.
