Is wind energy the strongest source of energy?
The strongest source of energy in terms of Energy density (Energy per unit volume) of all the renewable sources is Biomass. Wind is a concentrated form of Solar Energy. Waves are concentrated forms of Wind Energy. There is much more energy in the sunlight that strikes the Earth than in the winds that blow.
Does fat contain the least amount of chemical energy compared to protein or carbohydrate?
Absolutely not! Fat has the highest calorific value out of both the proteins and carbohydrates. It releases 37 KJ/g when respired as opposed to a 17 KJ/g release by proteins and carbohydrates. This is due to the fact the fats have the highest amount of hydrogen and so is a more concentrated source of energy than carbs and proteins.
Is concentrated energy more useful than spread out energy?
Yes, usually. Basically, concentrated energy has less entropy than when it is spread out.
Carbohydrates provide a source of energy because they?
contain available hydrogen that your body can make available to the mitochondria of your cells.
Why does the human body use carbohydrates?
Because it is the most "preferred" source of energy in your body: the amount of calories in 1 gram of carbohydrates (9) is more than the calories in fat and protein (4).
Why is fat a more efficient storage mode for energy?
Fats contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They have a high proportion of hydrogen which makes them a more concentrated form of energy than either carbohydrates or protein. Each gram of fat or oil produces about 9 Calories of energy. Fats are the primary source of energy during prolonged aerobic exercise. The release of energy from fat requires more oxygen than the release of the same amount of energy from carbohydrates. Fat metabolism therefore puts a greater strain on the oxygen transport system.Taken from: fat
Why are carbohydrates needed daily?
Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy and should be the major part of total daily intake. There are two types of carbohydrates: simple carbohydrates (such as sugar or honey) or complex carbohydrates
What releases twice as much energy than carbohydrates?
Gram for gram, lipids release twice as much energy as carbohydrates do.
Describe how molecules such as carbohydrates and lipids are important in homeostasis?
carbohydrates are a key source of energy while lipids are non polar or mostly insolube in water so both of them play an important goal in homeostasis
What are rice and alternatives?
They have Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are a source of energy that can be transformed into glucose, the form of sugar that is transported and used by the body, more quickly than proteins or fats. A diet too high in carbohydrates can upset the delicate balance of a body's blood sugar level, resulting in fluctuations in energy and mood that leave one feeling irritated and tired.
Do Simple carbohydrates provide the body with long-lasting energy.?
No. Complex carbohydrates such as starches and fiber provide longer-lasting energy than simple carbohydrates, which are sugars. False apexvs
