What do animals use in order to release energy stored in food?
Animals use their stomach and then enzymes to release the energy stored in food. This energy is formed into high energy compounds like adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Where do plants get the energy to make food?
Photosynthesis is the act of trapping the light energy from the sun and turning it into chemical energy in the molecule starch. The energy it traps comes from high energy photons.
What do lipids do for the human body?
provide insulation, protection, and stored energy
What sort of energy is stored in objects in high positions?
Potential energy.
What is the main high energy sugar from photosynthesis?
Energy is stored in glucose. It is the fuel for respiration
Which energy stored by being high up?
"Gravitational potential" or just "potential" energy.
What are various forms of chemically stored sunlight?
During photosynthesis plants use sunlight and convert simple, low energy molecules(carbondioxide and water) to high energy complex carbohydrates. The bonds that are formed during this conversion stores the energy of sunlight.....
What is light-independent reaction in photosynthesis?
During the Calvin cycle, or light independent reaction, plants use energy that NADPH and ATP contain to build high-energy compounds that can stored up to a long period of time.
How is energy stored?
Electrical energy can be stored in a lead acid battery, it can also be stored by pumping water up to a high reservoir, from which it can be released later to produce electricity. Mechanical energy can be stored in a large flywheel. Energy can be stored in elastic material. Thermal energy can be stored in an insulated block of high heat capacity material. Potential gravitational energy can be stored in a reservoir or lake, to be used later for hydro power. Fossil fuels are stores of chemical energy, and uranium is a store of nuclear energy. some examples are a ball,candybar,rubber band,and gasoline
Which organelle makes energy stored in high energy compounds available for cell?
Mitochondria (ATP).
ATP is the energy currency in cells by releasing the energy stored in what kind of bonds?
high energy phosphatidyl bond.
What is the process called by which plants use the suns energy to make high high energy sugars?
photosynthesis!
