By oxidation, which releases the chemical energy from the molecules.

The rapid release of energy can be called combustion (burning).

Does obatin and use energy have bacteria?

Yes, bacteria does obtain and use energy for locomotion.


What gets and use energy in order to carry out life functions?

Living organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, obtain and use energy to carry out essential life functions such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism. They convert energy from various sources—plants harness energy from sunlight through photosynthesis, while animals derive energy from consuming food. This energy is essential for processes like cellular respiration, which fuels activities at the cellular level. Ultimately, the ability to obtain and utilize energy is fundamental to sustaining life.


Why are fuels useful to us?

Fuels are useful to us because they provide energy for various purposes such as powering vehicles, heating homes, generating electricity, and manufacturing products. They are a convenient and reliable source of energy that can be easily stored and transported for use when needed.


When fuels are burnt the chemical energy changes to what?

When fuels are burned, the chemical energy in the fuels is converted into heat energy and light energy. This process releases energy stored in the chemical bonds of the fuel molecules, resulting in heat and light as byproducts.


Do you agree that the fossil fuel that people use for energy is produced by the process of photosynthesis?

Yes. Plants obtain energy via photosynthesis and store that energy in the form of carbohydrates. Sometimes when a plant dies it gets buried deep enough heat and pressure inside the earth converts the plant tissue into what we know as fossil fuels, with the same energy stored in the molecules.

Why is alternative to alternative to?

It is important to use alternative forms of energy because fossil fuels are becoming more difficult to obtain. The more people use fossil fuels, the less we have later because such fuels take millions of years to form and we use them very quickly due to our over-population.

How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?

Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.


Fossil fuels account for the majority of the world's energy use because they are?

Fossil fuels currently account for the majority of the world's energy use because they are inexpensive and abundant. The fossil fuels are depleting in a rapid rate.
