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.

True or false All energy on earth can be traced back to the sun?

True. With the exception of geothermal energy, all forms of energy on Earth ultimately originate from the Sun. Solar energy fuels photosynthesis, which creates biomass and fossil fuels, and also drives weather patterns and ocean currents.


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.


What energy form cannot be traced back to sun?

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.


Why can geothermal energy not be traced back to the sun?

Geothermal energy is derived from the Earth's internal heat, not from the sun. This heat is created by the decay of radioactive elements in the Earth's core and is trapped beneath the Earth's surface, making it independent of solar energy.


What can the energy from fossil fuels be traced back to?

decayed organisms


Why is the sun called the ultimate source of energy?

Most of the energy we use can ultimately be traced back to the Sun's energy.


How can energy a fox ate be traced back to the sun?

The energy consumed by the fox comes from the plants and animals it eats, which ultimately derive their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy via photosynthesis, which is then passed on through the food chain as animals eat other animals or plants. Thus, the energy consumed by the fox can be traced back to the sun as the original source.
