Is biomass chemical energy?
As it decays bacteria catalyses a chemical reaction to release methane and heat. When you burn it a chemical reaction occurs between the biomass and oxygen that releases light and heat. Biomass contains potential energy that can be chemically released.
What is the difference between exergonic and endergonic reaction?
Endergonic takes energy in to make a reaction. Exergonic releases energy when the reaction happens. An example of endergonic would be when plants use photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water molecules would be the reactants and when the plant absorbs energy like the sun, the turn it into sugar molecules that are high in energy. An example of an exergonic reaction would be wood burning. Heat and light is released.
What type of chemical reaction occurs when energy must be provided for the reaction to take place?
This is an endothermic reaction.
What kind of decay occurs in the mantle and releases energy that drives convection currents?
Huh?
What is the difference between a thermodynamically favorable and a thermodynamically unfavorable reaction?
Enthalpy change is not the only consideration for whether a reaction is favorable. However, if the enthalpy change is large, it is usually the dominant factor in determining favorability. Therefore, reactions that have a large, negative tend to be favorable, because the reaction usually releases energy when it occurs. Reactions that have a large, positive tend to be unfavorable as written, because the reaction usually requires energy to occur.
What type of chemical reaction occurs spontaneously?
An energy-absorbing reaction occurs spontaneously, as opposed to an energy-releasing reaction, which starts off slowly.
When an exothermic reaction occurs in a water solution what happens to the temperature of the solution?
The temperature rises. An "exothermic" reaction releases heat energy in the process.

The point inside the earth where the energy releases occurs?
The focus
Which type of nuclear reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy?
A nuclear fusion reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy. This occurs when two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This releases a large amount of energy.
What stage called where respiration releases most of the energy in glucose occurs in the what?
mitochondria
Which of these occurs during an endothermic reaction?
energy is absorbed
What is an alternate energy source produced from atomic reaction?
Nuclear fission is when a neutron is fired at an element with a high atomic number, which splits and releases more neutrons and energy as a result. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars and experimental reactors.
What type of chemical reaction occurs when energy must be provided for the reaction to take place?
This is an endothermic reaction.
What kind of decay occurs in the mantle and releases energy that drives convection currents?
Huh?
Coupling occurs when the energy released by an exergonic reaction is?
used to drive an endergonic reaction
