What are the advantage and disadvantages of chemical reaction in the body?

Answer 1

Chemical energy is the easiest and most efficient energy source to store and utilize, if only because it is so readily available, found in nearly everything we use. Chemical energy, as used by our bodies has been the source of life for billions of years and the developments in chemical energy technology has led to long lasting rechargeable batteries and hopefully in renewable energy resources in the future.

Chemical energy is bad for the environment and our health.

Within each category of energy, there are many different forms of energy. Chemical energy is one form of potential energy, along with mechanical energy, gravitational energy, nuclear energy and electrical energy. All of these forms of energy are stored within an object and are converted to forms of kinetic energy when a force or change is applied. The different forms of kinetic energy are radiant energy, which includes light, x-rays and radio waves, heat, motion and sound.

Chemical energy is a form of potential energy related to the structural arrangement of atoms or molecules. This arrangement may be the result of chemical bonds within a molecule or otherwise. Chemical energy of a chemical substance can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction. For example, when a fuel is burned the chemical energy is converted to heat, same is the case with digestion of food metabolized in a biological organism. Green plants transform solar energy to chemical energy through the process known as photosynthesis, and electrical energy can be converted to chemical energy through electrochemical reactions.

Many people do not realize that of all the various kinds of energy and power that humanity has created over the past several centuries, chemical energy is the form of energy that is used most often. Chemical energy is in fact a staple in our lives, and we use it every day no matter what form of energy we are using. Batteries that are powering our cell phones and television remotes use chemical energy to perform the functions we require. At a more fundamental level, the number of chemical reactions that takes place in the burning of fossil fuels also use chemical energy. When coal is burned to provide power all over the globe, or when gasoline is combusted in our automobiles, or even when natural gas is used to provide heating power in our homes, chemical energy is used.

People who want to use natural gas in order to heat their homes and provide fuel for their stoves and other appliances will often contact their local gas company. Gas companies are usually organizations that deal in the production and distribution of natural gas to their customers. Gas companies will usually operate large natural gas plants where gas is processed for commercial and residential use and then distributed to customers using natural gas pipelines. Gas companies will usually charge their customers based on their monthly natural gas use. People will often choose to use natural gas because of its availability and efficiency as an energy source.

Chemical energy is stored in every bond between atoms in a molecule. If a molecule is broken down and reformed into new molecules, energy is released. This kind of reaction is present in every chemical compound we see; however it is the yield of energy that differs. Food, for example, is chemically broken down by our bodies and taken apart to obtain energy within our bodies. After the energy is removed from the food, the new molecules are separated, energy absorbed for our everyday use, and waste removed.

Chemical energy is produced through reactions that occur in chemical compounds. A chemical compound is a simple collection of many atoms that are bound to each other. As the bonds between these atoms loosens or breaks, a chemical reaction will occur, and new compounds are created. When the bonds break or loosen, oxidation occurs almost instantly.

If the chemical reaction is one that is known to be "exothermic" energy in heat form will be released, and there is a reduction in the chemical compound. When this energy is released, we can harvest this energy as power to use in our every day lives. We observe chemical energy in action every day. When the sun beats on the ground to warm it, chemical reactions are occurring that produce chemical energy in the form of heat.

Where we obtain the chemical energy is in the bond that occurs between the various atoms of a specific molecule. When a molecule breaks down and converts into newer molecules, the energy between these bonds will be released. A simple example of this is when we eat food every day. The molecules in our food are broken down into smaller pieces, and the bonds between the atoms between the molecules are also broken down. The energy that we get from food is obtained through these broken bonds and is absorbed into our bodies to use in our every day life.

Chemical energy is possibly the easiest source of energy to obtain, and it is certainly the most efficient form of energy to use and to store. It is also readily available, as we can find it in just about everything we use every day. Chemical energy is known to be a source of life and source of power for many species for several billion years. Today, technology has advanced so that we can use chemical energy towards renewable energy sources that will affect our global future.

Of all the forms of energy that humanity has developed in the past few hundred years of mass production, chemical energy is by far the most commonly used. Whether in the batteries that power all of our handheld devices and their chemical reactions or in the millions of uses we've developed for fossil fuels and their numerous chemical reactions, chemical energy is a staple of our daily lives. Coal is burned for energy throughout the world, gasoline combusts every day in our vehicles, and natural gasses are burned for heating energy every night.

It's on a very basic level that chemical energy is stored. A chemical compound is composed of very simple collections of atoms, bound together. When the bond between these atoms loosens, a chemical reaction takes place and new combinations are created. Very simple reactions, such as the oxidation of metals occur almost constantly.

However, when a chemical reaction occurs that is exothermic, in which energy is actually released and the chemical compound is reduced, it is possible to harvest that energy for our everyday use. The very simple processes that we observe every day, such as the warming of the ground when the sun beats down on it, are the same basic concepts that apply to these chemical reactions. For humanity to fully harness this chemical energy though, it's necessary to understand just what happens and how we can make it happen.

Another example of a simple chemical reaction used to obtain energy, is in the photosynthetic process a plant undertakes to garner energy from the sun. So much energy is present in the light of the sun that a plant is able to take it and apply to existing molecules in its own structure and create new ones with the presence of carbon dioxide and water.

Answer 2

basically it makes out our life. Chemical reaction is based on life and if we didnt have it we wouldnt be here

Answer 3

As opposed to what kind of reaction?
