What else can I help you with?
Is biomass chemical energy?
As it decays bacteria catalyses a chemical reaction to release methane and heat. When you burn it a chemical reaction occurs between the biomass and oxygen that releases light and heat. Biomass contains potential energy that can be chemically released.
What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
What does uranium 238 become after a series of 14 decays take place?
The final product of the decay chain is the stable isotope 206Pb.
When a uranium atom decays radioactivity to become protactinium the radiation emitted is?
Some possible decays:- U-231------------Pa-231 (by electron capture)- U-229------------Pa-229 (emission of a beta particle)- U-228------------Pa-228 (by electron capture)
What is the total amount of living material found in the environment?
biomass
What energy transformation occurs as biomass decays in a compost bin?
The energy transformation that occurs as biomass decays in a compost bin is the conversion of chemical energy stored in the organic matter into heat energy through the process of decomposition. This heat energy contributes to the breakdown of the organic material and the transformation into nutrient-rich compost.
What is it called when an atom decays and become another element?
Radioactivity
When a animals and plant dies what does it become?
It decays and becomes fertilizer
what material are biomass And become compost?
old vegetables

How does organic matter become humus?
Organic matter breaks down (decays) to form humus.
16 Explain how biomass energy depends on the sun?
Biomass energy relies on photosynthesis, a process that converts sunlight into chemical energy stored in plants. Plants absorb sunlight to photosynthesize and grow, which accumulates biomass. This biomass can be harvested and burned to release the stored energy as heat or converted into biofuels for use in transportation and electricity generation.
What happened to the part of the plutonium that is no longer ther?
Plutonium is a radioactive element that decays over time, transforming into other elements through a series of radioactive decays. When plutonium decays, it releases energy in the form of radiation and transforms into a different element. This process continues until the plutonium is no longer present.
How does the decay of biomass relates to the food chain?
When biomass decays, it releases nutrients back into the environment that can be utilized by other organisms in the food chain. Decomposers like bacteria and fungi break down the decaying biomass, making these nutrients available for plants to absorb. This process helps to recycle essential nutrients through different trophic levels in the food chain.
Will biomass energy run out?
Biomass energy relies on organic material like plants and waste, which can be replenished through farming and other waste management practices. However, if not managed sustainably, biomass resources could become overstretched and potentially run out. Therefore, responsible and efficient use of biomass resources is essential to ensure their long-term availability.
Why do organisms become larger as one moves up the food pyramid?
because the biomass is getting smaller
