When liquid molecules absorb enough heat energy, evaporation occurs.
vaporization
vaporization
fusion
boiling
The molecules gain energy so they break up the solid structure and move more freely, however, they still have some attraction. More energy is required to weaken this attraction This molecule to molecule attraction is weakest in gaseous state of matter
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
kinetic energy
Which molecules are essentially required to absorb solar energy to carry out photosynthesis?
The energy required is the same. It is the energy required to rearrange the molecules from one state to another.

kinetic energy
Which molecules are essentially required to absorb solar energy to carry out photosynthesis?
The minimum energy required for molecules to react.
Water molecules attract each other; energy is required to overcome that attraction. In other words, the change of phase implies a change in potential energy.
Different atoms and molecules have different degrees of attraction for other atoms and molecules in their vicinity. They also have different degrees of kinetic energy, which is measured by temperature. In other words, hot atoms and molecules have faster motion or vibration than cold ones. If the kinetic energy exceeds the attraction, the molecule or atom flies off on its own. If the attraction exceeds the kinetic energy, the molecule or atom remains glued in place.
nutrient molecules are broken down
The energy required is the same. It is the energy required to rearrange the molecules from one state to another.
