Where do all organisms obtain energy?

Answer 1

We have quite a wide variety of cells here on planet Earth, so there isn't any one source of energy more specific than chemical reactions. You may think that the sun is the source of all the energy of living cells, directly or indirectly, but there are vent organisms which are not part of the food chain that starts with photosynthesis. They use sulfur emitted by underwater vents, instead.

Answer 2

Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers all get their food a different way from each other.

Producers get their food from the sun using a process called photosynthesis.

Consumers earn their energy from eating other living organisms.

Decomposers get their source of food or energy by breaking down dead or decaying organisms.

Answer 3

Ultimately, almost all organisms obtain their energy from the sun. Most producers, like plants and algae, use photosynthesis to create energy. Herbivores then eat the plants and use their nutrients for energy. Carnivores eat those herbivores, and so on.

Answer 4

All organisms obtain energy through the process of cellular respiration, where nutrients such as glucose are broken down to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells. This energy is used to fuel various cellular processes required for growth, reproduction, and maintenance of life.

Answer 5

Living cells obtain energy from glucose. During glycolysis breaks down molecules so they can enter the mitochondria where ATP is produced. ATP is where the energy for the cell is stored.

Answer 6

Answer 7

from the chemical bonds of ATP
