How are burning calories and burning wood similar and different?
Calories are a unit of heat [energy ] to our bodies. Putting food in our bodies is like putting wood [ fuel ] in the fire place.
How do cells release chemical energy from food?
A cell releases energy when glucose(food) and oxygen come together, then they produce water, Carbon Dioxide, and energy. a simpler form of this is the equation oxygen+glucose=water+carbon dioxide+energy
How does chemical energy help us in your daily lives?
What is chemical energy? Chemical Energy,example: burning paper,most likely school food and
What is the process by which cells get energy from food without using oxygen?
The process is fermentation.
What does a plant produce for itself in the form of chemical energy during photosynthesis?
Plants produce food for themselves during photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2 The food is glucose.
In cellular respiration what do cells use to produce energy from food?
Oxygen
Which process of burning food inside an organism's cells to release energy is called?
Respiration.
What Occurs when cells use oxygen to produce energy from food.?
cellular respiration
Process by which cells use 02 to produce energy from food?
The answer is photosynthesis I think.
What structures in plant cells capture light energy to produce food?
mitochondria
What organelle is responsible for furnishing energy?
Mitochondria. These organelles using the electron transport chain are able to produce ATP which is the major energy unit in cells. Mitochondria produce energy from food Chloroplasts- produce energy from sunlight.
How do animals cells store their energy?
The mitochondria in a cell produce energy, but extra energy from food is transformed into fat and put into special fat storing cells to be accessed later.
What must a human body do to get energy from food?
What must the human body need to get energy from food is to use oxygen to produce ATP which will fuel the cells.
All cells are able to continute living because of their ability to?
either produce offspring or produce hormones
What organelle captures energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell?
The organelle that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell is called a chloroplast.
How is the energy in food compressed?
The energy in food is compressed because of burning process
If living things are burning food in cellular respiration why don't they get as hot as a car engine?
Compared with burning, cellular respiration is a more controlled fall of electrons- more like a step-by-step walk of electrons down an energy staircase. Instead of releasing food energy in a burst of flame, cellular respiration unlocks food energy in small amounts that cells can put to productive use which is the conversion of food energy to ATP energy.
