Photoautotrophs (mostly) are the only organisms which can produce their own food using the energy from the Sun. All other organisms either have to eat plants (primary consumers) or eat animals that eat plants (secondary consumers). There are relatively few tertiary consumers.

Humans eat plants. Plants make food with the help of the Sun's energy.
Humans eat animals (meat). Animals eat plants, or they eat other animals who eat plants.
It all goes back to plants, and plants don't exist in nature without the Sun.

Infer how the energy used by many living things on earth can be traced back to sunlight.?
Many living things can be traced back to sunlight because plants uses sunlight for energy, animals eats that plant getting that energy, than a human eats that animal getting all the energy.
How the energy used by all organisms on Earth can be traced back to sunlight?
"The energy used by all organisms on earth" Cannot be traced back to sunlight.Although until recently sunlight was thought to be the energy source responsible for all life on earth, we now know that there is life that does not rely on sunlight. At the bottom of the ocean for example, there is life that relies on chemosysthesis - a process of converting "chemicals" to energy that does not require any sunlight. .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosynthesis.Hope that helps.
