Answer:

Many of the current bacteria originated from ancestors that were more than 3.5 billion years ago capable of turning Solar energy to fuels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of photosynthesis uses Solar energy to generate sugar in water, carbon dioxide and oxygen as waste products to produce plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.
