The Sun<span> is the major </span>source of energy<span> for </span>organisms<span> and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers, such as plants and algae, use </span>energy<span> from sunlight to make food </span>energy<span> by combining carbon dioxide and water to </span>form<span> organic matter. This process begins the flow of </span>energy<span> through almost </span>all<span> food webs.</span>
The sun's energy gives power to everything on Earth. Plants use sunlight to make food. Animals get their energy by eating plants. Even animals that eat other animals get their energy from plants. And all of the energy in plants comes from the sun. Energy from the sun is called solar energy.
