How flow of energy is different from flow of materials?

The flow of energy occurs from the sun in photosynthetic organisms. Another examples is a food chain with the flow of energy from through organisms from a producer. The flow of materials describes the movement of materials or components.


What are three forms of energy transfer?

Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is when heat is transferred directly between materials. convection occurs when heated materials move from one place to another heating matter along the way. Radiation is when waves of heat move through space.


What is the transfer of heat by conduction?

Transfer of heat by conduction is when transfer of heat occurs through touch. Vibrating atoms come in contact with neighboring atoms transferring some of their energy (heat).


What is the predominant energy transfer that occurs in the thermos bottle?

thermal energy


Why do mechanical waves travel faster through solids and liquids than gases?

Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)


What is the transfer of the energy that occurs when molecules collide?

fusion


The primary method of energy transfer by which Earth loses energy to outer space is?

Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.


Which type of energy transfer occurs when a battery flashlight is turned on?

What type of energy transfer occurs between electrons?

This is known as electron-transfer (ET).


What type of energy transfer occurs mostly in fluids?

convection


The first transfer of energy on earth occurs?

during photosynthesis


Which transfer of energy occurs mainly through the process of convection?

Energy transfer by convection is primarily restricted to fluids. One of the significant modes of heat transfer is convective heat transfer.
