How does energy pass from cow to cow?
It doesn't. Cows get their own energy from what they eat, not from each other.
How much more energy does a lactating cow need than a dry cow?
Typically a lactating cow will eat 50% more than a dry cow would. As for energy needs, a lactating cow needs around 15% more energy than dry cows do.
What is the energy efficiency of energy conversion in a cow?
There are many energy efficient cells working in the energy conservation in a cow. These include sleeping an extra amount to digest food.
How does the cow get energy from the sunlight?
The answer is complex and rather surprising. The plants get their energy to grow from the Sun, they use photosynthesis to trap the energy in sunlight to make sugars (out of water and Carbon Dioxide from the air) which then go into the making of the plants leaves and stems. Cow graze on these leaves and stems but they can not use the energy in them directly. They chew them up and then pass the ground up bits into a special stomach (cows have 4 stomachs) where microorganisms break down this material and multiply on this food as they do so. The cow then passes the fermented broth into others of its stomachs where it digests the microorganisms, incorporating their nutrients into its body. Thus the energy a cow gets comes intally from the Sun, which is stored by plants, which is then used by microorganisms which is then used by the cow. If you were then to eat the cow then the energy enabling you to move would have come from the Sun.
What does cow energy intake come from?
The feed it eats (grass, hay, grain, silage). Grain and silage is higher in energy (in the form of fats) than other feed sources.
Does 1 percent milk come from a goat or a cow?
cow.
What energy is lightning strike?
It contains electric energy. Also sound energy is produced initially.
How do food chains give a simplified view of the flow of energy?
Food chains give a simplifed view of the flow of energy because, for example if the grass eats fertilizer and a cow comes and eats that patch of grass and then humans come and we eat the cow the the energy from the fertilizer, the grass, and the cow all go into us because it was pasted down to the organisms that were part of that food chain. Hope it makes sence. :)
What is an example of a food chain with a human?
the sun gives the grass energy then a cow comes and eats it then the cow gets the energy from the grass cause the grass got it from the sun then we make the cow into a double cheese burger then we take the energy that the cow and grass had before it and p.s the sun will never waste out of energy
How did the cow come about?
Evolution.
Why do reactants undergo an increase in temperature even though energy is emitted?
During the reaction, energy is initially used and the temperature is initially raised. Only near the end of the reaction does the energy "flow out."
What type of energy conversion take place in order to have energy stored in grass for cows to eat?
From the feed, forage or roughage they eat.
