Is biomass chemical energy?
As it decays bacteria catalyses a chemical reaction to release methane and heat. When you burn it a chemical reaction occurs between the biomass and oxygen that releases light and heat. Biomass contains potential energy that can be chemically released.
How does heat transfer from the mantle relate to the movement of earths crust?
This heat transfer happens by convection.
How does living things get energy?
plants gain energy from the sun during photosynthesis, this energy is then passed on to insects as they consume the plants, then a bird will eat the insect and so on. But energy is lost at each stage of consumption as movement, heat and in faeces. so in order for living things to get enough energy they must consume more. See a pyramid of Biomass for this process.
Who first discovered biomass?
People burn it sometimes for heat, sometimes for steam to help make electricity.
How does ohm's law relate to heat capacity?
It doesn't. Ohm's Law defines the relationship between voltage and current.
Which section of an energy pyramid is the largest and Why?
A pyramid is bigger at the bottom and small and pointy at the top. so its bigger at the bottom, otherwise it would have been called an energy upside-down pyramid =). But anyway, energy enters a food chain from the sun. some energy and biomass is lost at each stage of a food chain as feaces, movement energy and heat energy (especiall birds and mammals). therefore only a small amount of energy and biomass is incorporated into a consumer's body and transferred to the next feeding level. the loss of energy and biomass at each stage is a representation of why the pyramid gets smaller at the top.
Why is ecological pyramid shaped like a pyramid?
A graphical model that is shaped like a pyramid to show how the energy flows through a food chain, how the amount of energy is decreasing and becoming less available for organisms as it enters each trophic level, and how much of the energy in the ecosystem is lost to the atmosphere as heat.
What are the 4 kinds of ecological pyramind?
The first of the four, is the ecological pyramid. It shows the number of organisms in each of the trophic levels in an ecosystem. At the base of the levels are the producers and at the top of the pyramid are the final consumers. The second is the number pyramid. This also shows the number of organisms in each of the trophic levels but it does not take into consideration the size of each of the organism in the levels. This pyramid has four levels, starting from the bottom is the total number of producers, then the total number of herbivores, third the total number of small carnivores, and finally the total number of large carnivores. The third pyramid is the biomass pyramid. This pyramid is an indication of the total mass of organisms in the trophic levels. There are three levels of biomass in this pyramid. These are producers ( 470.0 g/m2), then herbivores (0.6 g/m2), and last the carnivores ( 0.1 g/m2). And it is possible for the second level to be greater than the third. Last, is the energy pyramid which indicates the total amount of energy that is in the trophic levels. It also is able to show the loss of energy between the trophic levels. The four levels in this pyramid are Producers, Primary consumers, Secondary consumers and at the top are the Tertiary consumers. As energy passes between the levels, such as from producers to primary consumers, much of the energy is lost due to waste and the conversion to heat energy.
What is biomass applications?
cooking, electricity/heat
Is biomass chemical energy?
As it decays bacteria catalyses a chemical reaction to release methane and heat. When you burn it a chemical reaction occurs between the biomass and oxygen that releases light and heat. Biomass contains potential energy that can be chemically released.
What is a biomass boiler?
A biomass boiler is a device that burns biomass as a fuel to heat water. For eg, The organic matter that is collected from a sewage treatment plant is burnt as fuel, That in turn is used to heat the water or whatever is to be heated. I hope that this helps. :-)
What speed up the decay of biomass?
2 factors speed up the process 1.Heat 2.The biomass is loosely packed
Who invented biomass?
No one knows when it was actually "invented" biomass. When u think about it biomass is basically burning a source to make heat. So wouldn't a fire be biomass? If u agree, this method has been known for a very long time.
What is biomass fule?
Biomass is commonly plant matter grown to generate electricity or produce heat. Biomass fuel is the fuel which is naturally generated and used by us in our life. Example : Electricity, Petrol.
How energy transferred through the decay of biomass?
the heat radiantof the energy
How do you use biomass in a sentence?
We can burn biomass in special plants to produce steam for making electricity, or we can burn it to provide heat for industries and homes.
What is the purpose of a biomass boiler?
The purpose of a biomass boiler is to generate heat by burning or converting mass to energy. It does this in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner.
