A cell organelle that breaks down food molecules and releases energy?
The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.
Is rolling down a grassy hill potential or kinetic energy?
The act of rolling is showing kinetic energy because it is movement, but we should always look at energy change. As you go down hill, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Which describes the energy conversions used to make a car down the street?
Assuming it just rolls down a slope, without the engines working: gravitational potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.
What is the initial transfer of energy that accelerates the rock down the side of the mountain?
Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy
Does Friction make energy vanish?
sort of but it really only slows energy down
What can happen next to food energy taken by a second level consumer?
that it will break down.
What can happen next to food energy taken in by second level consumers?
that it will break down.
Is jumping up and down thermal energy?
Of course because your Body Begins to warm up causing sweat after a while, and the thermal energy Comes from that movement where you are jumping up and down . (HOPE THIS HELPED)* !!:D
What happens when energy is taken away from matter?
The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.
What does 'knocked down a peg' mean?
This can also be used as "taken down a peg" or "to take down a peg or two" - it means to deflate their ego, usually by causing them to do something that shows they've been being arrogant or by correcting something they did wrong.
Why ice is cool?
Ice is cool because they particles are slowing down, causing the to give off less kinetic energy, and therefore less heat
How a skier gliding down a hill illustrates the conservation of energy?
because the skis are on the snow it causes friction which turns in to heat causing the skier to stop
What happens if you don't get magnesium?
your body breaks down and you lose all energy, if not enough magnesium is taken in you could possibly die.
What are the steps in energy conversion?
Glucose taken into the cell, glucose broken down to yield ATP, ATP used for cellular activities.
Is there any way to increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?
You can increase or decrease the kinetic energy of electrons by accelerating or decelerating them, which you can do with an electric field or by collisions. You can increase or decrease the electrical potential energy of electrons by causing them to move to positions with lower or higher voltage. To a very small extent you can increase or decrease the gravitational potential energy of electrons by causing them to move up or down in a gravitational field.
