Chemical energy is converted to mechanical and heat energy
A tiny bit of the sun's energy falls onto earth. On earth some of the solar energy is changed by photosynthesis into chemical energy stored in the carbohydrate molecules in plant cells.A human eats a plant. Or a human eats an animal that ate a plant. The chemical energy stored in the plant (or animal) cells is moved into the cells of the human's body. All of the body processes, like digestion, pumping blood, breathing, are powered by cells converting the stored chemical energy into work and heat, in a process called respiration. Respiration takes place in every cell in your body.Inside the muscle cells of the human (or any animal), the chemical energy is transformed (changed) into mechanical work and heat. The muscle contracts, the legs push, and the body leaps into the air. Some of the chemical energy has now been changed into the kinetic energy of a body flying up into the air. The rest of the original chemical energy has been used to raise the temperature of your jumping body. If you keep jumping for long you'll get pretty hot.During a change, energy is either released or absorbed

Energy is transferred through a food chain when an organism eats another organism. As the food chain progresses, less energy is available when an organism is consumed.
Animals utilize the mitochondria within their cells to perform cellular respiration. Takes the glucose out of food and oxygen they breathe in to create wastes of carbon dioxide and water, but also useable energy in the form of ATP as well. Cellular Respiration starts with glycolysis which turns a glucose molecule into 2 pyruvates. Next, an intermediate step occurs involving pyruvate turning into acetyl-CoA. Next, the Krebs Cycle (aka Citric Acid Cycle) converting the acetyl-CoA to NADH, FADH2, and ATP. FInally, The electron transport chain performs oxidative phosphorylation converting all previous products into ATP. In short, animals breathe and eat to obtain their potential chemical energy.
heat energy I hope this helped ^^
Chemical Energy -> Kinetic Energy
what eats a caterpillar in a desert .......
it eats it!
1%
Chemical - from the food it eats.
Stored chemical energy
Eats
caterpillar
no
no
well a deer eats its eggs. a grey wolf eats a deer but I'm not sure what eats a caterpillar. I think its a bird though!!
