What else can I help you with?
The energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds in a series of linked chemical reactions called a?
The process you are referring to is called photosynthesis. This is how plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight into chemical energy through a series of reactions that involve the synthesis of organic compounds like glucose.
Organic compounds that store and transfer energy are what?
The form of potential energy that organic compounds hold is called fuel. On burning these compounds, the heat can be converted into other forms of energy.
The process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy is called what?
photosynthesis
When light disappears in a medium and is converted to another form of energy, what process has occurred?
The process that occurs when light disappears in a medium and is converted to another form of energy is called absorption.
What is it called when light energy strikes an object and changes to heat energy?
This process is called absorption. The object absorbs the light energy, which then gets converted into heat energy.
Which process breaks down aminoacids into organic compounds and urea?
The process that breaks down amino acids into organic compounds and urea is called deamination. During deamination, the amino group is removed from the amino acid, converting it into ammonia, which is then converted into urea in the liver. The remaining carbon skeleton can be used for energy production or converted into various metabolic intermediates. This process is crucial for the metabolism of proteins and the excretion of nitrogenous waste.
The conversion of CO2 and H2O into organic compounds using energy from light is called?
This process is called photosynthesis. It is the fundamental process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight into energy to produce organic compounds like sugars.
Energy is converted from solar to chemical in Process A and then from one form of chemical to another in Process B. Process A is best described as?
Process A is best described as photosynthesis, where solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose by plants. This process involves the absorption of sunlight, which drives the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds. It is a fundamental mechanism for energy capture in ecosystems, enabling the production of food and oxygen.
What is thermal energy converted into work called?
what is thermal energy converted into work called
What is the break down of sugar in the body made for energy called?
The breakdown of sugar in the body for energy is called glycolysis. Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is converted into pyruvate, producing ATP (cellular energy) in the process.
What is converted to food by the process of photosynthesis?
The sun's energy is converted into food by the process of photosynthesis.
What is the process by which low energy compounds are transfered into high energy compounds?
defacation, or extrenuation depending on whether you're a chemist (extrenuation, C ions moving from one molecule to the other) or a biologist (defacation, where plants absorb carbon and turn it into atp.)
