What are the differences between NADH and NAD in terms of their roles in cellular metabolism?

NADH is a reduced form of NAD, meaning it has gained electrons and is used in energy production during cellular respiration. NAD, on the other hand, acts as a coenzyme in various metabolic reactions, accepting and donating electrons to facilitate energy transfer.


What are atoms that have gained energy called?

Atoms that have gained energy are called excited atoms. This means that their electrons have moved to higher energy levels, and they are in an unstable state before they release the energy in the form of light or heat to return to a lower energy state.


How is calorimetry related to the law of conservation of energy?

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but remains constant in a given system. Therefore, wouldn't calorimetry make use of it because the energy gained/lost by the water would cancel out the energy lost/gained by the substance and result in no change overall?

Explain the difference between the energy lost or gained by an atom according to the laws of classical physics and according to the quantum model of an atom?

In classical physics, the energy gained or lost by an atom is continuous and can have any value. In contrast, in the quantum model of an atom, the energy gained or lost is quantized, meaning it can only take on certain discrete values determined by the energy levels of the atom. This discreteness of energy levels in the quantum model helps explain phenomena such as atomic spectra and electron transitions.

How energy is stored in and released from ATP?

Through photosynthesis and/or cellular respiration. -anonymous18_K


What do animals benefit from photosunthesis?

Animals do not directly benefit from photosynthesis, as they are not able to carry out this process themselves. However, they indirectly benefit from it through the oxygen produced as a byproduct, which they need for respiration. Additionally, animals obtain energy and nutrients by consuming plants or other animals that have gained energy through photosynthesis.


Use light energy in a sentence?

Light energy is the type of energy that is gained from the sun. It is essential to keep the planet warm and for animals and humans to see.


What percent of energy is gained by alternative energy?

About 55%to60% of energy is gained by alternative energy.


How does a chicken gain energy from the sun?

Chickens do not directly gain energy from the sun like plants through photosynthesis. Instead, chickens require energy from their food, which is broken down during digestion to produce energy for various bodily functions. The plants that chickens eat may have gained their energy from the sun through photosynthesis.


Is energy from the ATP released in the cellular respiration?

Energy is released in cellular respiration. For example, imagine you were to eat a bowl of cereal and breathe oxygen. Enzymes would break down starch into glucose and other enzymes would break down the glucose into energy.


Why is water good for plants?

They need it for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis consists of a chain of reactions, in which certain resources are needed and others are gained as a result. Plants need water, sunlight and carbon dioxide for the reaction. As a result plants produce sugar (= energy) and oxygen. So plants need water to be able to produce energy and to grow.


When a solid changes to a liquid energy is?

What sort of energy has the cyclist gained when she reaches the summit?

The cyclist has gained potential energy as she reaches the summit. This energy is stored due to her position and height in relation to the ground.


What is kinetic energy'?

Energy gained by a body due to its motion is called Kinetic energy


Does energy lost equal energy gained?

In an isolated system, according to the law of conservation of energy, energy lost is equal to energy gained. This means that the total energy of the system remains constant and is simply transferred between different forms.
