What is the name of the process that heterotropsh gets energy from?
Heterotrophs get energy by eating plants. The process is called food chain.
Is physical work requiring energy being done if a person pushes on a locked door?
Yes because work is using energy to move something. Anytime we push-pull, work (energy) is used.
When does an irreversible process occurs?
An irreversible process occurs whenever there is an increase in entropy. Entropy can be thought of as a measure of "wasted" energy, that is, energy that cannot be converted to useful work. Therefore any process which results in an increase in entropy wastes some portion of energy that cannot be recovered, and so the process is irreversible.
What is the process by which chemical reactions occur that break down food molecules into energy to be used by the organism?
Breaking down of macromolecules into small particles is called a catabolic process. In any catabolic process there is a release of energy. Anabolic reaction combines small particles into a macro molecule and energy is conserved in such a process.
Contrast the forming and breaking of chemical bonds in terms of energy changes?
The formation of chemical bonds releases energy. It is an exothermic process. The breaking of chemical bonds takes energy. It is an endothermic process.
What is the process called requiring energy?
homeostasis
Is passive transport a non energy requiring process?
Yes; the definition of passive is no energy required
Is an osmosis an energy-requiring process?
Osmosis and diffusion both require kinetic energy. Neither process uses energy, just a presence of energy, that is why heating water allows particles to move into homeostatic balance more quickly. There is a higher amount of kinetic energy in hot liquid. To answer your question though osmosis can occur without energy.
What is active phase of respiration?
inspirationInpiration involves contraction of muscles. This is an energy requiring process
What is an example of energy coupling?
A system or reaction sequence in which energy from an energy-releasing process is used to drive an energy requiring process.
What are Processes requiring energy called?
When the process that requires energy results in a displacement in the direction of a force, the process is known as work. Work is the product of force and distance.
What is the term for energy requiring metabolic process that builds larger molecules from a combination of smaller ones?
Anabolism is the constructive process of metabolism. Opposed to catabolism.
Active transport requires what?
Energy-requiring process by which substances move across the plasma membrane against a concentration gradient.
What is the name of the organelle involved in the oxygen requiring process by which the energy in the macromolecules is stored in ATP?
That would be the 'mitochondria'...
Chronic kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant is termed?
Hemodialysis
How do anerobes manage to produce energy without oxygen?
Glycolysis. This process releases energy (in the form of ATP) without requiring oxygen. It isn't, however, very efficient.
The energy-requiring process that moves molecules and ions across a cell membrane against a concentration difference is called?
Active transportation
