Monosaccharides are what the short term energy storage in apples are called.
The energy stored in an apple on a tree is in the form of chemical potential energy. This energy is derived from the conversion of sunlight during photosynthesis, which is stored in the form of sugars and nutrients in the apple.
Yes, both an Apple battery and gasoline are forms of chemical potential energy because they store energy within their chemical bonds that can be released through chemical reactions. This stored energy can then be converted into other forms of energy such as electrical or kinetic energy.
When you eat an apple, the energy stored in the apple (in the form of carbohydrates, sugars, and fats) is transferred to your body during digestion and metabolism. This energy is then used by your body for various functions such as cellular activities, muscle movement, and body temperature regulation.
The gravitational potential energy in the system increases as you lift the apple because work is done against gravity. This potential energy is stored in the apple-Earth system and can be released if the apple falls back to the ground.
No, an apple does not contain enough energy to power a clock. The energy stored in an apple is in the form of carbohydrates, which is not enough to generate electricity for a clock to function.
Technically eating an apple cannot be the first link in an energy conversion from solar power to X since the apple is already converted. Therefore your question is invalid. I would ask; do you mean what steps to convert the solar energy into an apple or to what energy is the stored and converted solar energy in the apple being converted to?
Eating an apple involves converting the potential energy stored in the apple into kinetic energy that powers various processes in your body, such as digestion and metabolism. The energy obtained from consuming the apple is ultimately used as fuel for your body's functions.
The energy obtained from eating an apple can be traced back to the sun through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, the apple tree absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in the form of sugars. When you eat the apple, you are consuming this stored energy from the sun.
The energy in an apple falling from a tree would mainly be in the form of gravitational potential energy, which is the energy stored in an object due to its position above the ground. As the apple falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, the energy of motion.
When digesting an apple, the chemical energy stored in the apple is converted to mechanical energy through the movement of our muscles to break it down. This mechanical energy is then converted into chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration to be used as energy by our cells.
When you eat an apple, the potential energy stored in the food is converted into chemical energy through digestion. This chemical energy is then used by your body for various functions such as cell growth, repair, and movement.
When you eat an apple, your body converts the chemical energy stored in the apple into mechanical and thermal energy through the process of digestion and metabolism. This energy is then used by your muscles to contract and throw a ball, with some energy being lost as heat in the process. Ultimately, the energy from the apple is transformed into kinetic energy of the ball as it moves.
