Some sort of work.
catabolism is the process that releases energy to convert substances to simpler products
It can RELEASE or CONVERT energy; please note that energy can't be created or destroyed.
A battery is a device that can convert electrical energy into chemical energy for storage. In a battery, chemical reactions occur that release energy in the form of electricity when needed.
You can convert one type of energy into another type of energy.
how do we convert wind energy into mechanical energy
How do solar farms convert energy into electrical energy?
Plants do not release energy in the same way animals do through movement and actions. Instead, plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates through photosynthesis, which they can then use for growth and maintenance.
Chloroplast convert light energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy itself
Fossil fuels convert chemical energy by combustion, a process where the fuel reacts with oxygen to release heat energy. This heat energy is then converted into mechanical energy in engines or turbines which can perform work, such as powering vehicles or generating electricity.
Flashlights convert electric energy to light energy and heat energy.
The release and absorption of energy are crucial for various processes in living organisms. Energy release through processes like cellular respiration provides the necessary energy for metabolic activities. On the other hand, energy absorption, such as through photosynthesis, allows organisms to harness energy from the environment and convert it into a usable form.
Mitochondria release energy through a process called cellular respiration, which produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - the main energy currency of the cell. Mitochondria convert food molecules into ATP through the series of reactions in the electron transport chain.
