from the sun provides energy for life’s processes. It enables the primary
producers (photosynthetic organisms) such as phytoplankton
and plants to produce organic molecules from abiotic factors. This energy is passed up as primary and secondary
consumers consume these producers and this cycle
continues up the foods chain/web. </span>

An intrinsic property is independent of how much of a material is present and is independent of the form of the material, one large piece or a collection of small particles. Intrinsic properties are dependent mainly on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the material.
