What type of molecule is made from amino acids and acts as a biological catalyst?
Molecules that act as catalysts in biological systems are enzymes. Enzyme catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
When you increase the height of a ramp which increases the angle does the efficiency for kinetic energy increase of decrease?
The energy efficiency increases as the angle increases.
Describe how energy from sunlight is transfered to ATP and NADPH and what are they used for?
In case of plants, there is biological reduction. Carbon bi oxide and water is converted to glucose. Energy from sunlight is trapped in the form of ATP in chlorophyl. This ATP is used to in biological reduction. Energy consumed in biological reduction is same photon by photon, to energy released during biological or chemical oxidation. ( Law of conservation of energy in chemical reactions.)
Is ATP a biological energy molecule?
Yes
What are the 7 basic forms of energy in biological system?
it is in the book !
What is the formula to find mechanical efficiency?
Mechanical efficiency = (output energy)/(input energy) . It's typically stated as a percentage.
What is the importance of enzymes to biological systems?
Enzymes decrease the amount of activation energy required for chemical reactions to occur.
What is the value equal to the enthalpy minus temperature times entropy?
free energy. this is gibbs free energy in biological systems
What is biological energy transducers?
transforms one mode of energy to another.this is the fundamental physical basis of the sensory response of most biological systems to their environments.during oxidative phosphorylation conversion of chemical energy to muscle contraction and relaxation
What is Bio-energetics theory?
Bioenergetics; it is the qualitative study of energy relationships and energy conversions in biological systems . Example; .respiration in mitochondria
What compares the energy output of a system with its energy input?
Is it's Energy Efficiency.
What are the benefits of using Finned Tubes in HVAC systems?
Finned Tubes enhance heat transfer efficiency, reducing energy consumption in HVAC systems.
What are the benefits of using Finned Tubes?
Finned Tubes enhance heat transfer efficiency in HVAC systems by increasing surface area, thereby improving energy efficiency.
Compare the different methods in terms of the dissipation of energy and their efficiency?
but i think you are talking about efficiency of conversion of energy. Various energy-converting systems have different efficiencies. For example, a CFL or fluorescent bulb is more efficient at converting electrical energy to light than an incandescent bulb.
What has the author P L Hendrickson written?
P. L. Hendrickson has written: 'Overview of existing residential energy-efficiency rating systems and measuring tools' 'Liability aspects of home energy rating systems'
What is energy star?
ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency voluntary program that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency. Appliances, buildings, and climate control systems can earn an Energy Star rating by showing a high degree of energy efficiency.
What is the coal energy efficiency?
If it is burned - which is the way such fuels are usually used - the energy efficiency is the energy efficiency of a heat engine. The theoretical maximum efficiency is the Carnot efficiency; the real efficiency will usually be considerably less than that.
