Radiant energy -> photosynthesis -> time, heat pressure = coal
coal gets burned- > heats water- > turns a turbine-> turns a generator -> produces electricity.

What chemicla reaction takes place when you burn calcuim and oxygen?
calcium-oxide
What chemical reaction takes place when a rocket takes off?
Rockets with today's technology will burn a fuel. That means that chemical energy is converted into heat; when the gases of the burning fuel get out of the rocket, the heat energy is converted into kinetic (movement) energy.
Which one takes longer to burn rubber or a candle?
a candle takes longer to burn but it smells nicer, especially if it is a scented candle
What can peat become if compressed long enough?
this is the order from peat to coal, peat-lignite-bituminous-anthracite- the higher up the the types, the higher BTU burn you well get, as well as a cleaner burn, but it takes more energy to get it started.
Describe what takes place during cellular respiration in complex organisms?
Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose, which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy, but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity, the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form.
What energy transformation takes place when you burn a fuel?
Sorry but they dontave it doesnt it suck sorry peeple :(
Which energy transformation takes place when a firecracker explodes?
Basically the same as when things burn in general. Chemical energy gets converted into other types of energy - heat, light, and (in the case of explosions) pressure waves.
What energy transformation occurs when gasoline is burn?
The mechanical energy from the engine (with help from electrical energy from the battery), turns the potiential energy of gasoline/petrol into kinetic energy.
Where in atmosphere does meteoroids burn?
"where the oxygen level increases then combustion takes place"

Why do bigger people burn more calories?
takes more energy to move a larger mass
Are animals flamable?
Animals are combustible, not flammable. They will burn, but it takes significant inputs of energy to get one to ignite.
What does Cellular respiration need?
Oxygen and a source of Fuel/Energy, and a Cell. "Lactic Acid Burn", that occurs to overworked muscles, occurs during Respiration that takes place without enough oxygen at the time.

How do body get energy from food?
When u eat food your body takes out the calories to burn. That is wat produces energy. However if have to many calories at one time your cant burn it fast enough and will eventually becomes fat
Why will cell choose to use glucose over fat when fat yields more energy?
cell use glucose instead of fat because glucose is easy to burn into energy but it takes a lot of workout ot burn fat..
