What type of energy is received on earth from the sun and other stars?
Heat, visible light, and infrared light (UV Rays) are the three main types of energy emitted from the sun and stars. Although, around 30% of it does get forced back into space.
What is the matter emitted by the sun called?
Various things are emitted byt the sun - light and heat are the best known but other electromagnetic waves such as gamma rays are also emitted. Theoretically gravitons are sent out too
What is the process by which the sun's energy is trapped as the source of energy used by virtually all living organisms?
in plants it is called photosynthesis, in all other organisms it is called chemical energy
What form of energy travels as waves from the sun to the earth?
Answer: RadiationThis includes visible light, gamma rays, UV rays and other waves. They can be seen in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is a sun in the food chain?
producer
What happens during fluorescence to the energy which gets absorbed but not emitted as fluorescence by the atom?
If energy is absorbed but not emitted as fluorescence it may:increase the energy of the molecules - manifest as an increase in temperatureuse the energy to power a chemical reaction - manifest as a change in compositionrelease the energy at a wavelength other than that being observed for fluorescence.
What are the organelles that transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP?
In both plant and animal cells, mitochonria are responsible for energy transfer. They are the sites of the a metabolic process in which ATP is generated from extracting energy from sugars, fats, and other fuels.In plant cells only, chloroplasts are responsible for energy transfer; they are the sites of photosynthesis.
What process do people use to obtain energy?
I am not sure that you are asking what you think you are asking, but in any event, the body process responsible for obtaining food for energy (or for any other purpose) is officially called eating.
Why is an electric heater rated at 100 efficiency?
Because all the electrical energy supplied to the heater is emitted as heat. There is no other way for the energy to escape.
Why is an electric heater rated at 100 percent efficiency?
Because all the electrical energy supplied to the heater is emitted as heat. There is no other way for the energy to escape.
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?
A photon is emitted when an electron falls from a higher to lower orbital. A photon is an elementary particles, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
How does electromagnetic radiation originate?
As it is a form of energy, it cannot be said to originate in any normal sense - energy is neither destroyed nor created. The other problem with your question is that because the electromagnetic spectrum covers all forms of radiated wave energy, there is no simple answer. As a very simple starting point, all forms of EMR can be generated as a result of a change in energy of matter. For instance, visible light, UV and other wavelengths can be emitted when an electron changes energy level in an atom or in a plasma, infrared can be emitted when an atom drops in temperature, X-rays can be emitted when high energy electrons are absorbed by a solid metal target,
Which is responsible for the largest part of a cells energy expense?
The brain is responsible for consuming the maximum amount of energy. The brain cells need two times more energy than other cells in the body.
How does energy from the sun get converted into energy that can be used by humans and other animals?
By the process of Photosynthesis.
How does energy from the sun get converted energy that can be used by humans and other animals?
By the process of Photosynthesis.
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
How does heat energy from the sun get to the earth?
RadiationHeat can't travel through a vacuum, directly, so the sun emits energy as light. The earth receives about a two billionth of the sunlight emitted, but the light is converted to heat and other energy forms.
