How sunlight is the primary source even though humans do not go through photosynthesis?

Think about the food chain. Although, yes, humans do not perform photosynthesis, we get our energy from other organisms, some of which, do. When we consume plants or animals that eat plants, we are consuming energy that had been taken from the sun's energy.

What would happen to the financial system if humans went through photosynthesis?
This question makes no sense. While humans are incapable of undergoing photosynthesis in any way, shape or form, if it is somehow possible and this question does make sense, then the economy will decrease significantly, due to the needlessness of food and will raise the demand for CO2 emission and promotion of increased sunlight.
What would happen if you did not have chloroplasts?
Well humans do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts only show up in plant cells as chloroplasts are for obtaining energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. No animal is able to do this as chloroplasts are not present in animal cells.
Why is sunlight important to all living things?
Humans need sunlight for the production of Vitamin D, without which we would have serious bone problems and diseases such as Rickets. Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, the method by which they use sunlight to produce sugar, which provides them with energy.
Why don't humans need chloroplasts?
Humans are heterotrophic and feed from other organisms. They do not carry out photosynthesis, which is the function of chloroplasts. Plants need chloroplasts as they are autotrophic (i.e. they produce their own food using sunlight).
Why do plants need the sun's energy?
Plants are equipped with a mechanism that allows them to convert the energy from sunlight to chemical requires for plant growth. This occurs through a process called photosynthesis. Here, plants absorb sunlight energy and use this energy to break down complex molecules into simpler molecules that are required for the plants to grow.
How and why do humans use photosynthesis?
Humans are not primarily photosynthetic. Plants are. Plants use sunlight to synthesize chemicals that they need. They do not eat. Humans, in comparison, are omnivorous. We eat food to gain energy, so we do not need photosynthetic skin. However, we humans do synthesize vitamin D with the help of sunlight, so to that small extent we do engage in photosynthesis.
Identify the primary source of energy for humans?
First : From the food intake Second: From the sunlight
Of any plants that provide food for humans as a result of photosynthesis?
Plants that provide food for humans as a result of photosynthesis are called autotrophs. They are the primary producers in the food chain.
Which process is solar energy trapped for use by organisms?
Photosynthesis: as used by plants to produce glucose. And humans use sunlight to synthesize vitamin D( not called photosynthesis)
Is photosynthesis done by humans?
No, it is a process in which plants use sunlight to manufacture their own food.No other living thing can do do this but plants.

Most other creatures obtain their chemical potential energy by what?
Animals (including humans) obtain their energy by digesting food, taking out the energy content and excreting the waste. Plants get their energy by photosynthesis through sunlight.
What would happen if you did not have chloroplasts?
Well humans do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts only show up in plant cells as chloroplasts are for obtaining energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. No animal is able to do this as chloroplasts are not present in animal cells.
What would happen if humans and animals where not going through photosynthesis?
You will die of course..........
What can algae do that humans cannot?
Algae can make their own glucose through photosynthesis.
Why is sunlight important to all living things?
Humans need sunlight for the production of Vitamin D, without which we would have serious bone problems and diseases such as Rickets. Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, the method by which they use sunlight to produce sugar, which provides them with energy.
Do all trees need to grow with sunlight?
No because plants go through photosynthesis in order to get food, animals are similar to humans in this sense.
