The only organisms that can directly convert sunlight into energy are plants. Plants intake solar light and, through a series of complex chemical reactions, produce food and stored energy. This energy travels along the food chain as plants are eaten by animals, and animals by other animals. However, as each organism consumes the one before it, only about 10% of consumed organism's energy is transferred.

The primary source of energy for living organisms?
the ultimate source of energy for all living organisms is the sun
What is the primary energy source for most organisms?
The sun and the sunlight are the main things for all living things.
Organisms that change the energy in sunlight into food are called?
Organisms that produce their own food are called autotrophs. All plants are autotrophs and use photosynthesis to create their food.
Source of all energy for living system?
The sun is the ultimate source of all energy in Earth's ecosystems.
What is the ultimate source of energy for all organisms on earth?
water is ultimate source of energy or................................... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . maybe is it sun i dont know either sun or water it's your own answer
What do all photosynthetic organisms have in common?
All photosynthetic organisms create energy from sunlight.
What do photosynthetic organisms have in common?
All photosynthetic organisms create energy from sunlight.
The primary source of energy for living organisms?
the ultimate source of energy for all living organisms is the sun
What is a plant cell's source of energy for photosynthesis?
sunlight
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.
What is the main source energy used by organisms?
The sun and the sunlight are the main things for all living things.
What is the difference between a producer and an autotroph?
An autotroph and a producer are almost the same. They both convert sunlight into energy. Autotrophs are a larger group covering all organisms that convert energy from sunlight or chemicals. Producers are organisms that use sunlight energy to create carbohydrates that they use for food or structural purposes.
Why isn't all of the energy a green plant gets from the sunlight past to other organisms?
Some of the energy was used for life process and lost as heat
The anaerobic pathways provide enough energy to meet all of the energy needs of?
many unicellular and some multicellular organisms
Where does the primary source of all energy in an ecosystem come from?
The primary source of energy in an ecosystem is the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy, in the form of glucose. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume plants or other organisms for energy.
What is the primary energy source for most organisms?
The sun and the sunlight are the main things for all living things.
How does energy get into an ecosystem?
begins at the sun, where primary producers (plants) convert it into usable energy by photsynthesis.
