What is the name of the process by which all organisms break down energy-containing molecules within their tissues to release energy?
The process organisms use to break down food is called metabolism. ATP, the universal energy currency of cells, is used to transfer chemical energy between different chemical reactions.
Where do plants get the chemical energy they need to grow?
in their food that has chemical energy inside.
What are heterotrophs and where do they get their energy?
Heterotrophs are organisms that consume food in order to obtain energy. These organisms get their energy by consuming organic molecules.
Why are microorganisms important in ocean food chains?
Microorganisms such as algae are photosynthetic and convert energy from the sunlight into usable energy for organisms. Since organisms are inefficient at converting energy when consuming organisms, there needs to be a constant inflow of energy to sustain higher levels of the food chain. The loss of energy also explains why there are lesser numbers of organisms higher up on the food chain.
What is the primary source of energy for all the organisms in the ecosystem represented below?
The trophic level that contains the organisms that are the source of all chemical energy used in an ecosystem is called the producer level. This level contains the organisms that can make their own food.
What are organisms that make their own food with sunlight or chemical energy called?
Organisms that make their own food with sunlight or chemical energy are called autotrophs.
How do photosynthetic organisms convert the sun's energy into chemical energy?
by eating food
Organism that make their own food with sunlight or chemical energy are called?
Organisms that make their own food with sunlight or chemical energy are called autotrophs.
Describe the transformation of chemical energy to mechanical in your body?
Chemical energy lies within the food that organisms eat. Digestion turns the chemical energy into mechanical energy, which can be used to fuel the organs, tissues and cells.
Animals are able to run because they can change the chemical energy in food into what?
Energy of motion.....
What type of energy are you taking in when you eat fruits and vegetables?
Food energy is chemical energy. Organisms break down food to extract the things that they need to stay healthy, and it's a chain of biochemical reactions that powers the organism.
What kind of energy is food energy converted to?
Food is chemical energy and is coverted into heat energy (body heat) and kinetic energy (being able to move) when you eat it.
What form of energy is food before it is eaten?
Chemical Energy :)
What changes food energy to chemical energy?
The mitochondria changes food energy to chemical energy.
What changes food energy into chemical energy?
The mitochondria changes food energy to chemical energy.
What are the uses of chemical energy in human?
it is objects in your food that make you be able move and think
Three ways for organisms to get energy?
chemical energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy
