Energy is transferred from food to water primarily through metabolic processes in living organisms. When organisms consume food, they break it down during digestion, releasing chemical energy stored in the food's bonds. This energy can then be used to perform work, such as generating heat, which can warm the surrounding water. Additionally, during cellular respiration, energy is released and can be transferred to water through processes like thermoregulation or through metabolic byproducts that interact with water.
The energy in food is transferred to a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
In a microwave, energy is transferred through electromagnetic radiation in the form of microwaves. These microwaves penetrate the food and cause the water molecules inside to vibrate rapidly, creating friction and generating heat, which cooks the food.
Energy is transferred from organism to organism in a food chain. This energy comes from the sun, is captured by producers (plants), and is passed on to consumers (animals) as they eat other organisms in the chain.
ATP
Energy is transferred in a food chain. It starts with plants absorbing energy from the sun. It is then transferred up through the food chain by animals that eat plants which are, in turn, eaten by carnivore's.
Energy.
When thermal energy is transferred to water, the water molecules absorb the energy and their kinetic energy increases. This causes the temperature of the water to rise, eventually leading to the water boiling and turning into steam.
Energy can be transferred through water mainly through conduction and convection. In conduction, heat energy is transferred from one water molecule to another through direct contact. In convection, water currents are created by temperature differences, moving energy throughout the water body.
i am asking you the question
Energy in the biosphere is transferred through food chains and food webs. Producers, such as plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to consumers as they eat other organisms.
Water and food are needed by living things because they are used to produce energy for the body cells/body. (But energy can't be produced, only transferred, so just reword that however.)
In the heating of water, thermal energy is transferred to the water from an external heat source. This causes the water molecules to gain energy and vibrate more rapidly, leading to an increase in temperature.
