Which organelle uses energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food?
Chloroplasts are the main source of ATP (the cell's energy) for the cell to use. This is the only organelle structure that uses photosynthesis to create glucose, which is then made into NADH and ATP.
What substance is the most direct source of energy that an animal cell uses for the synthesis of material?
The primary source of chemical energy in animal cells are ATP molecules
What is the major fuel used by neurons?
A Neuron is a nerve cell. Glucose is the major fuel source for all cells, It is turned into ATP by aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration occurs within the mitochondria of cells. ATP is the form of energy stored and used by cells.
What is the funtion of mitochondria in a cell?
Wow, im studying this currently. The mitochondria helps the cell live and function as it is the cell's power source. It breaks down certain molecules and creates this material called ATP, which the cell uses for energy to move and be active.
What organelle provides cellular energy?
The chloroplast in any plant cell is responsible for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses sunlight to create glucose which is then utilized as energy.
Is a light bulb a source of an electric current?
No. The term SOURCE means that it is a supply of electrical energy, and a light bulb does not supply electricity, it uses it. A battery, generator, fuel cell, or solar cell would be a source.
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
What converts fuel particles into useable energy in a cell?
The mitochondria in a cell convert food cells into energy. The cell uses that energy to kickstart necessary reactions.
Match the energy source in column 1 to its characteristic in column 2. A. Hydrogen Can only operate near rivers B. Solar power Harnesses the energy of the sun directly C. Natural gas Uses a fuel cell?
Nuclear- the largest no fossil fuel source in the world Oil- may run out in the next 100 years Hydroelectricity- uses running water solar power-uses energy directly from the sun
What is the substance most direct source of the energy that an animal cell uses for the synthesis of materials?
Electricity.
Four uses of radioactive isotopes are?
- energy source - radiation source - tracer - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear bombs
How does a steam engine change chemical energy to heat energy?
A steam engine uses a hydrocarbon based fuel source. The combustion of the fuel releases the chemical energy in the bonds in the form of thermal energy.
Can energy be created if no then why is sun is considered as the source of energy?
Energy cannot be created, not even in the Sun. If saying that the Sun is a "source" of energy gives you this impression... well, it doesn't actually create the energy. It only converts energy - from the potential energy (nuclear energy) available in the hydrogen-1, which is the fuel the Sun uses. Once it uses its fuel up, there will be no more. If anybody says the Sun is a "source" of energy, that simply means we get the energy from the Sun. This sort of statement doesn't analyze in more detail where the energy comes from.
Can you correctly say that a new source of energy is hydrogen?
When someone creates controllable hydrogen fusion you can say that. For now when people say cars are hydrogen powered what they mean is the car uses a hydrogen fuel cell, which is really a clever sort of battery, so hydrogen is more an energy storage option than energy source.
What items use heat energy.?
Cooking uses heat energy as the main source. It is the main activity that uses heat as a source of energy.
Is a hybrid car an efficent source of energy?
They are a car that uses gas as a source of energy.
Which energy source uses heat from undderground?
Geothermal energy uses heat from underground.
