The controlled release of energy from food within the cells of an organism?

∙ 9y ago
Many organisms eat to obtain energy, but in order to use the energy contained within the food, they must metabolize it slowly into a usable form. Different organisms use different forms of metabolism, usually divided into aerobic or anaerobic respiration.

∙ 11y agoeverything contains some sort of energy. you can consult the energy pyramid if this doesn't answer your uestion, but I hope it will.
1.] A plant uses engergy from the sun to grow. It uses that energy to release oxygen to the world.
2.] An animal eats the plant and breaths the oxygen the plant produced. the energy the animal ecieved from the food and air it previously used helps it to digest the plant and turn it into energy
3.] the animal dies and is either eatten by another organism and tured into energy or decay and is turned into nutrients that plants need to grow. Animals also deposite minerals into the soil by relieving themselves.

How is oxygen used by living organism?
In plants, oxygen is a bi-product of photosynthesis which we(humans and animals) breathe in. Our oxygen is used for respiration and helps with the release of energy within our cells(intra-cellular respiration).
What is a simple model that shows how energy is transferred from organism to organism within an ecosystem?
Ecosystem For (A+)
A set of chemical reactions within an organism?
Organism of measurements
Explain the meaning of homeostasis as applied to the living organism?
A most basic answer: living organisms must use energy to maintain homeostasis.Homeostasis is the "balance" of our body--we are kept within a very strict and small allowance of our internal environment. This includes our pH, temperature, fluid levels, etc. If any of these things change, the body must spend energy to get it back within that allowable range for us to live. That isn't to say the body doesn't spend energy if things are within range--it is constantly using energy to KEEP things in that range (not just fix the ones that wander out).How it uses the energy to maintain homeostasis is a very long and varied answer. There are hundreds of ways for hundreds of situations.
Describe protein synthesis?
Protein synthesis is a biochemical process that occurs within the cell of an organism. The amino acids are linearly arranged into proteins through the involvement of various enzymes as well as RNA.
An organism that uses energy to produce its own food supply from inorganic compounds is called an?
An organism that uses energy to produce its own food supply from inorganic compounds is called an autotroph (within a food chain, it is a producer).
How cells store energy and release energy?
Cells store and release energy through the use of the mitochondria, an organelle contained within it.

How do cells release stored energy?
Cells store and release energy through the use of the mitochondria, an organelle contained within it.
How is energy passed through an ecosystem?
Energy is passed through an ecosystem through the organisms within it. The sun produces all energy within an ecosystem. As the sun produces energy, it is absorbed by the producers (plants) through photosynthesis. These plants are then consumed by other organisms. The energy decreases by 10% as it is being passed from organism to organism. For example, if grass is the producer it absorbs 100% of the energy from the sun. This grass is then consumed by a small herbivore, which receives only 10% of the original energy. Where does the energy go? The energy has been lost through heat, and it was also used to live, grow, and reproduce.

What is ATP and activity within the cells?
Atp store energy in its bonds. Thenit release energy when neede,
Which are typically used for long term energy storage within a cell?
simple organic molecules are not necessary for the life processes of an organism.
What are typically used for long term energy storage within a cell?

How do you usually release the chemical energy stored within a piece of wood?
By burning it.
In what form do organisms store energy?
Organisms primarily store energy in the form of chemical bonds. This energy is stored in molecules such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and carbohydrates like glucose. When needed, these molecules can be broken down and the energy stored in their bonds can be released and used by the organism.
How does an electron move when it releases energy?
Electrons move to a lower energetic state within an atom or molecule when they release energy.
