What substances does fuel usually contain?
Most fuels are based on hydrocarbons. When hydrocarbons are burned (oxidized), a significant amount of chemical energy is released in the form of heat.
When fuels are burned they transfer energy what type of energy is in the fuel and what energy is it converted into when its burned?
The energy that is contained in a consumable fuel (like gasoline) is chemical energy. The energy that it is converted into when it is burned is heat energy.
Can a photon be oxidized by an electron from the valence shell of a molecule?
Photons are not oxidized. They are energy. A photon may be captured by an atom or molecule resulting in a change to the state of atoms.
Why is gasoline a chemical energy?
Gasoline is a combination of several hydrocarbons which when oxidized (chemical reaction) release heat energy.
Breaking down carbohydrates to release energy?
The two organisms that break down carbohydrates to release energy from cells are autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs trap sunlight and store it in carbohydrates.
How do macadamia nuts get their chemical potential energy?
The carbohydrates stored in nuts and seeds are created by photosynthesis in the plants on which they grow. The energy of sunlight is used to create molecular bonds that release their energy when the carbohydrates are oxidized.
Carbohydrates are burned by cells to produce energy?
Carbohydrates are converted to energy by the process of hydrolysis
Carbohydrates are broken down to give us?
energy
Does coal release chemical energy when used?
Yes, when it is burned (oxidized in air), it releases the chemical energy stored within its chemical bonds.
What substance is made from the energy that comes from broken carbohydrates?
ATP
Do triglycerides store more or less energy than carbohydrates?
The carbohydrates are already ina more oxidized state than the triacylglycerols.
What is light energy and what does it do for cellular respiration?
Light energy does not affect respiration, but it is needed for photosynthesis, which in plants creates the chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that are oxidized in cellular respiration.
The main source of energy in the human die?
In the human diet, the main source of energy is carbohydrates. In order to be used, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose that is used during respiration to produce energy.
During______ carbohydrates are burned by cells to produce energy A. digestionB. secretionC. metabolism?
Secretion
What substance is made from the energy that comes from broken carbohydrates bonds?
ATP
What substances is made from the energy that comes from broken carbohydrates bonds?
ATP
What are the carbohydrates called when broken down into smaller molecules?
Carbohydrates are generally broken down into glucose which your cells use as fuel. They can also be broken down into fructose and galactose.
