Where does energy come from that allows you to move?
You move as a result of stored chemical energy, basically sugars. The sugars breakdown to water and carbon dioxide and release electrical energy that enervates muscles, that move you.
Solar energy is converted to chemical energy as what?
starches and sugars
Plants transform the electromagnetic energy from the sun sunlight into?
chemical energy
How does the cell make energy?
It oxidizes sugars to convert chemical bonds to energy.
During photosynthesis plants generate sugars which contain chemical potential energy but plants need external energy to perform photosynthesis. Where does this external energy come from?
nuclear reactions in the Sun
What converts light energy into chemical energy sugars through the process of photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells. Chloroplasts capture light energy and converts it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Flow of energy converted with photosynthesis?
Fusion energy in the Sun's core produces light that leaves the Sun as electromagnetic radiation. This is trapped by the chloroplasts in plant cells and the energy is used to break chemical bonds and make new chemical bonds. Sugars are made and the sugars store the Sun's energy as chemical energy.
How do fossil fuels store energy?
Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
What is an example of solar energy being converted into chemical energy?
Green plants producing sugars is an example of solar engery being converted into chemical energy.
What is the main form of chemical energy in living things use when they need energy?
Sugars of various types
What kind of chemical reactions that release energy from sugars?
The oxidation/ reduction of sugars release energy during respiration. The phenomenon of liberation of energy from sugars is a katabolic process. It may be aerobic or anaerobic.The oxidation/ reduction of sugars release energy during respiration. The phenomenon of liberation of energy from sugars is a katabolic process. It may be aerobic or anaerobic.
How is photosynthesis a transfer of energy?
The process turns light energy into chemical potential energy (the sun's light is used to create sugars).
