What uses sunlight to change inorganic substances into organic compounds?
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like glucose. This process produces oxygen as a byproduct and is essential for the survival of most living organisms.
Which Organisms use energy from sunlight or inorganic substances to make organic compounds?
You call it a plant. The process is called photosynthesis, and this chemical change happens in the chloroplasts of plant cells. The primary product of photosynthesis for the plant is glucose, which the plant can either burn for energy right away or store as starch.
What is the difference between organic carbon and inorganic carbon in terms of their impact on the environment?
Organic carbon comes from living organisms and is part of the natural carbon cycle, while inorganic carbon is typically found in non-living sources like rocks and minerals. Organic carbon can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions when it decomposes, affecting climate change. Inorganic carbon, on the other hand, does not directly impact the environment in the same way.
Organic and inorganic fertilizer?
Organic fertilizer is a natural based fertilizer used to help plants grow. Many organic fertilizers use all natural oceanic substances like fish guts and seaweed. Organic fertilizer is one of two kinds of fertilizers. As you know, organic fertilizers use organic substances, where Miracle Gro, uses some unnatural substances that help increase your plant's growth unnaturally. That is what organic fertilizer is.Farm animal manure, plant matter, seaweed, peat moss, fish waste, etc.
Is a rotting apple a chemical change?
Yes, rotting of an apple is a chemical change as it involves the breakdown of organic molecules in the apple through chemical reactions, leading to the formation of new substances like ethanol and acetic acid.
What happens to evaporating dish when placed to a non-luminous flame?
When an evaporating dish is placed over a non-luminous flame, the organic substances in the dish will burn, leaving behind inorganic residues like ash. The heating process will also drive off any volatile gases or liquids present in the dish.
Is decaying of garbage a chemical change?
No, it is a physical change.
What comes in your mind when you hear the word chemistry?
I have a minor in chemistry as part of my bachelor's degree. While in undergraduate I tutored fellow students in inorganic, organic and biochemistry for three years, and my mother has taught high school chemistry for 35 years. Based on all of this, I would say I know a fair deal of chemistry, particularly inorganic chemistry. The real question is, what do you want to know about chemistry?
Prosthetic group of enzyme is organic or inorganic?
No. Enzymes are ORGANIC catalysts. Enzymes are types of protein that are very similar to inorganic catalysts. Both increase the rate of a reaction (while decreasing activation energy.) Also, neither of them are used up or changed in the reactions that they speed up. A difference between the two is that enzymes are complex proteins but catalysts are simple inorganic molecules. The main difference is the way that the two are affected by temperature. Like other proteins, an increase in temperature causes an enzyme to denature and change shape. The shape of an enzyme is essential for its role in the reaction because it must fit with the specific substrate (the thing that it is helping to break down/speeding up the reaction of). Therefore, the enzyme will not speed up the reaction if it is denatured and no longer is the same shape. An inorganic catalyst, on the other hand, is more effective at a higher temperature and increases the reaction rate even more.
Is decaying animal a physical or chemical change?
Decay is a chemical change. Organic tissue is broken down by micro-organisms into simpler substances. Also cells alter their chemical make-up when they die and dry out.
What is decaying of leaves is it physical change or chemical change?
The decaying of leaves is a chemical change because it involves the breakdown of the organic compounds within the leaves by enzymes and microorganisms, leading to the formation of new substances such as carbon dioxide, water, and humus.
What does decay looks like?
Decay typically manifests as the gradual breakdown or deterioration of organic or inorganic materials. In organic matter, it may appear as discoloration, softening, and the presence of mold or fungi, while in inorganic materials, such as metal, it can show as rust, corrosion, or crumbling. The process often involves a change in texture, smell, and the formation of byproducts like gases or liquids. Overall, decay is characterized by a loss of structure and function over time.
