How the energy used by an athlete during a football game comes from the energy of sunlight?

All plants grow through photosynthesis. We eat the plants. Most animals eaten by humans also eat plants. We eat the animals. The energy a human's body uses comes from eating plants, and from animals that eat plants. Since the plants all grew through photosynthesis, and passed on down the food chain into us, we can conclude that the athlete is actually running on energy ultimately derived from photosynthesis. jhk

During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch

What is the mechanical energy of a football during a pass?
During a pass, a football's mechanical energy is potential energy. Mechanical energy is "potential" for any object in motion that is not moving itself (the football is displaced by the player).
Does sunlight contain energy?
Sunlight is energy.
What does solar energy mean in science?
Solar energy is the energy present in sunlight, or energy that is generated through the use of sunlight.
What type of energy transformation occurs during respiration?
The type of energy transformation is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis allows the electromagnetic energy in sunlight to be converted into chemical bond energy in the cell.
Sunlight is a form of energy called what?
electromagnetic energy
Why is sunlight not a source of energy?
Sunlight IS a source of energy. It has its drawbacks - like not being available during night - but it's definitely energy.
Is light energy converted into chemical energy during the process of sunlight?
No.
Why does solar energy work only by sunlight?
That's what it's all about: using the energy from the sunlight. By the way, while there is sunlight, you can store the energy in a battery, and then use it during the night.
What is the mechanical energy of a football during a pass?

What energy do plant use during photosynthessis?
Sunlight
What captures energy from sunlight during photsynthesis?
The leaf
What is the source of the energy released during photosynthesis?
sunlight
What are various forms of chemically stored sunlight?
During photosynthesis plants use sunlight and convert simple, low energy molecules(carbondioxide and water) to high energy complex carbohydrates. The bonds that are formed during this conversion stores the energy of sunlight.....
Is it cold during an eclipse?
yes, because sunlight is energy and a source of heat; thus, if no sunlight reaches you during an eclipse, there is no heat.
The ultimate source of energy trapped during photosynthesis is?
sunlight
What do autotrophs do during phtosynthesis?
Convert the energy in sunlight into glucose.
Green organisms convert energy in sunlight to energy stored in food during?
Photosynthesis
