Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solar energy is the originating source for most of the energy that powers ecosystems on this planet. The sun provides energy for photosynthesis which is the primary process that produces organic matter and fuels all food webs. While geothermal and wind energy are sources of energy, they are not the originating source for most ecosystems. Potential energy refers to energy that is stored and not actively being used by an ecosystem.
