What happens to biomass as you move up its pyramid?
The Biomass decreases as the energy is used up on the way to the "top".
What means thershold energy?
Threshold energy is the energy level where some chemical/physical action happens. For instance water boils at 100 deg C the water molecule attains enough (kinetic) energy it can escape from the rest of the pull of the water molecules. It can be used other context as well e.g. there enough electrostatic energy build up in the clouds, a lightning occur. This is the threshold energy.
What happens to potential energy when jumping out a plane?
Elevational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and heat in the air as air friction sets a terminal velocity. If a parachute is not used, some additional energy is lost with the associated screaming...
What type of chemist might study how an athlete uses energy during a competition?
A Biochemist might study how energy is used in athletes during competition since they study chemical processes, and reactions in living organisms.
What do organisms use lipids for?
Lipids have several functions in organisms. A few types of lipids are wax, sterols, and fat. Wax is used by plants to help keep too much water from evaporating out of them. Bees also produce wax to build the honeycombs in their hives. Sterols are things like cholesterol and cortisol that are used in signal transmission in animals and also in the cell membrane structure. Fat is used to stored energy and for insulation.
What happens to energy when its used?
the energy decreases when you use it and to increase energy you need to rest or sleep.
What happens to energy in an ecosystem?
The energy in an ecosystem is used by the organisms in that ecosystem. In the case of the sun as energy, nothing happens because the sun always supplies energy.
What happens to the energy that is not passed through the trophic levels of an energy pyramid?
It used by the organisms at each trophic level to keep themselves alive.
What is meant by free energy in organisms?
energy used for work
How is protein used by organisms?
to use energy
What is the energy from ATP used by organisms to do?
it is used for short term bursts of energy in cellular processes
What are the two ways that energy stored in dead organisms is used?
Energy stored from dead organisms can be used in two ways. They can either be eaten by other organisms or decomposed by bacteria with the nutrients absorbed in the soil to be used by plants.
How much of the energy provided by the sun and captured by other organisms is used by humans?
40 % of the energy provided by the sun and captured by other organisms is used by humans.
Where energy used by most organisms come from?
From the Sun.
The energy used by living organisms originates from the?
The Sun
The Original source of energy used by organisms is what?
The sun.
What are three ways organisms make use of polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are used for storing energy and glucose for organisms. Its a Structure to store energy.
