Fossil fuel, such as coal, oil, or natural gas, is formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These substances are burned as a source of energy in various industrial and residential applications.
A bomb calorimeter identifies and measures the amount of energy released when a substance is burned in a controlled environment, providing information about the substance's energy content.
mixture because humans turn it into something else
When fuels are burned, they contain chemical potential energy, which is converted into thermal energy (heat) and light energy (flame) during combustion. This process releases energy that can be harnessed for various purposes, such as generating electricity or powering vehicles.
Bioluminescence is the production of light by living organisms, while phosphorescence is the emission of light by a substance after it has absorbed energy.

Many substances can be burned to release heat energy, pretty much anything. However, water or ice is one that can not.

Basically the same as when any substance burns. Mainly heat energy.

This is called the Calvin Benson Cycle. It occurs in the chloroplasts of photosynthetic organisms.
When a substance burns in air, it typically produces carbon dioxide and water vapor, along with any other byproducts specific to the substance being burned. The reaction of the substance with oxygen in the air releases energy in the form of heat and light.
Primary producers, such as plants and phytoplankton, are the organisms that comprise the greatest mass of living substance in a terrestrial food chain. They are responsible for converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain and providing energy for all other organisms.
True. Potential energy is indeed energy that is stored within an object or substance, and can be converted into other forms of energy to perform work. In the case of coal, its potential energy is released in the form of heat and light when it is burned as a fuel source.
Yes, the amount of energy released when nutrients are burned is measured in calories. Calories provide the body with fuel for various functions like metabolism, physical activity, and organ function. The energy derived from burning nutrients is essential in sustaining life processes.
The food substance produced by photosynthesis is glucose. It is a type of sugar that serves as the primary energy source for plants and many other organisms.
The "BTU" is a unit of energy. The "MMBTU" is a million of them ... still a quantity of energy. The "cubic meter" is a unit of volume. If the substance filling the volume is named ... and its pressure also specified in the case of a gas ... then it's possible to begin calculating the quantity of energy available when the substance is burned.
