Why cant deep water ecosystems rely on photosynthesis?

Because there is no light. Sunlight doesn't reach that far down.


How top level consumers such as hawks depend on sunlight for their food?

Most ecosystems ultimately rely on sunlight as the source of energy. Sunlight is used by plants to manufacture food. Plants are eaten by herbivores, and herbivores are in turn eaten by top-level consumers like hawks. Therefore hawks ultimately depend on sunlight for their food. At the bottom of the sea, near thermal vents, scientists have discovered new ecosystems that do not rely on sunlight, but on the chemicals and heat present at those vents as a source of energy for bacteria, which are eaten by larger organisms. The top level consumers in those ecosystems do not depend on sunlight for their food.

What is the primary source of energy for a food web?

The primary source of energy for almost all food chains is the sun. The usual series is that the sun provides energy to plants that provide to other creatures. Some ecosystems rely on other energy sources however. For instance some deep ocean ecosystems rely on geothermal energy harvested by bacteria.


Do aliens need sunlight?

We do not know of any alien lifeforms as of yet, so if they do exist we do not know how their biology works. Most ecosystems on Earth depend on sunlight, so it is likely that any ecosystems on other planets would as well.


Do all things need sunlight?

Plants need sunlight, and every other living creature depends on plants existing. Most objects need to be created by humans who rely on animals that rely on plants, as well as needing plants. Just about everything needs sunlight.


Why is sunlight an important abiotic factor in all terrestrial ecosystems?

because it provides energy to the organism in the terrestrial ecosystem
