Do the colors of flame tests result from taking in energy or releasing energy?

Both. Electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy state, which is unstable, and they fall back down to their ground state immediately, releasing energy as they do.

What system is responsible for taking in oxygen from the air and releasing carbon dioxide?
we breathe in oxygen and we release carbon dioxide
What is the science behind the atomic bomb?
The science is that of nuclear physics. By taking an unstable heavy substance, such as uranium or plutonium, and hitting it with neutrons, some of the material will break (fission) into lighter materials, releasing energy, and more neutrons, which in turn cause more material to fission. This is called a nuclear chain reaction.
What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy called?
a chemical change is taking place
When a gas stove burns propane gas to cook food what energy transformation is taking place?
chemical energy to heat energy
Why do the dark colors dissolve faster?
The lighter the color the more light reflectant it is while as dark colors absorb more light which is why they melt/dissolve faster because they are taking in more
Is chocolate melting absorbing or releasing energy?
it is absorbing energy because whenever anything is doing a process that requires heat it is taking in energy
What is meant by the term respiration?
Respiration is the process where organisms exchange gases with their environment. In animals, respiration typically involves taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. In plants, respiration involves taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
What is the process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide?
Cellular photosynthesis
Is fermentation a process that releases energy without using oxygen?
Yes, Fermentation is a process used when your body is lacking oxygen, like when you have been running for awhile and you are tired and breathing heavly, Fermentation is releasing energy into your body without taking that small amount of oxygen.
What is a compound that minimizes changes in pH by reversibly taking up or releasing ions?
A buffer.
What system is responsible for taking in oxygen from the air and releasing carbon dioxide?
we breathe in oxygen and we release carbon dioxide
What type of energy does a plane have taking off?
If the plane is taking off it will be moving which is kinetic energy... hope this helps
Are radioactive decay and photosynthesis the same?
No. Photosynthesis involves plants taking carbon dioxide and, using sunlight for energy, forming sugar and oxygen. Radioactive decay involves a single element (no sunlight, no plants) releasing particles and changing (decaying) into a different element.
How does taking a cold shower conserve energy?
it conserves energy
What type of energy does an airplane taking off have?
kinetic energy
What energy changes are taking place in a toaster?
heat energy
What is the energy transformation taking place in solar cooker?
Radiant energy -> electrical energy -> thermal energy
