During an energy transfer what happens to the total amount of energy?

Energy can not be destroyed, so the total amount of energy before a change is equal to the amount of energy after the change. However, some energy is changed into a useful form, but some may be wasted and not used. For example, a light bulb, changes electrical energy into light energy, but some of the energy is changed to heat and some to sound, these are not useful and are wasted, but are changed nonetheless.
So a transformation from mechanical energy to heat will have the same total energy at the start as at the finish, but unless it is 100% efficient some of the original energy will be 'lost'

What is always loss during a transfer of energy?
ENERGY
What happens to the total amount of energy as it flows through a food chain?
the energy amount increases as other organisms eat other organizms.
What Units used to express energy transfer?
Its the exact amount without loosing any in the process. This process is called "The Law of Conservation of Energy".
What is a model of energy transfer?
spell it to you8
What happens to the potential of the molecules in a reaction?
the potential energy of the molecules changes during a reaction.
What happens during an energy transformation?
The total amount of energy stays the same.
What happens to the amount of energy during a chemical reaction?
Do it yourself idiot.
Can you explain how the transfer of energy as seismic waves is related to the frequency and magnitude of earthquake in a region?
They both based on the amount of energy that is released during earthquake
What happens as a result of transfer of energy?
work
What happens to the ADP molecule produced when ATP loses a phosphate during and energy transfer?
The Answer is: the Energy from cellular respiration is used to convert ADP back to ATP.
What is always loss during a transfer of energy?
ENERGY
What are the example of energy transfer?
Everything that happens in and around the world are examples of transfer of energy.Nothing in the world happens without transfer of energy as an example water stored in a dam it actually possess potential energy then-it is having kinetic energy for the turbine rotation.
What happens during biochemical processes?
energy can be transformed into different forms, but the total amount of energy remains the same.
What happens to usable energy?
In any transfer of energy or conversion of energy from one form to another, the total amount of energy does not change. The total amount of usable energy, however, always decreases.
What energy transfer happens when you use earmuffs?
it turns to stone...
Which direction does energy flow during energy transfer?
from small to big
Work is the transfer of power from one object to another?
Almost. Work is the transfer of energy from one to the other.The rate at which that happens is power.
