Fossil fuel consists of coal, oil, and natural gas that have been formed from the remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. What was the source of the energy used to produce the high-energy molecules in these fossil fuels?

The sun

Explanation:

Coal and crude oil are made from the remains of plants and animals that died long ago. The primary energy source in an ecosystem is the sun. Plants take in energy from the sun to produce high energy molecules which are transferred along the food chain to animals. When these plants and animals die, the high energy molecules are now stored in fossil fuels. Recall that the molecules were formed using energy from the sun, therefore, the sun is the energy source from which the high energy molecules contained in fossil fuels are obtained.

the answer is a and have a great day
