When a substances particles absorb energy what happens to the motion particles?
When a substance's particles absorb energy, their kinetic energy increases, causing them to move more rapidly. This heightened movement can lead to a change in the state of the substance, such as melting from solid to liquid or boiling from liquid to gas. As the particles collide with one another more energetically, the overall temperature of the substance may rise.
What does the specific heat capacity of a substance represent?
The specific heat capacity of a substance represents the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of that substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin). It is a measure of a material's ability to absorb and store thermal energy. Higher specific heat capacities indicate that a substance can absorb more heat without a significant change in temperature, while lower values suggest that the substance heats up or cools down more quickly. This property is crucial in various applications, including climate science, engineering, and cooking.
Energy is captured for photosynthesis by?
Energy is captured for photosynthesis by pigments called chlorophyll, which are located in the chloroplasts of plant cells. These pigments absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy that is used to drive the process of photosynthesis.
Bacteria that can absorb light energy and convert it into ATP are commonly called?
Bacteria that can absorb light energy and convert it into ATP are commonly called phototrophic bacteria. They use light as an energy source for photosynthesis, similar to plants.
What is the name of the energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas?
The energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas is called the enthalpy (or heat) of vaporization.
What is an absorption factor?
An absorption factor is the measurement of a specific substance's ability to absorb radiant energy.
Infrared waves are often called heat waves because they?
induce resonance in molecules and increase internal energy in a substance.
Which substance in plants absorb Energy in the photosystems?
Chlorophyll
What organelle has the unique ability to absorb energy from the sun?
A Chloroplast.
During what type of phase does a substance absorb energy from its surroudings?
Endothermic
What property of a substance does its specific heat capacity describe?
How much heat it takes to raise the temperature
Do trees absorb light?
Yes, they do absorb light. They transfer the light-energy to chemical energy by a proces called fotosynthesis.
What has the ability to turn light energy into chemical energy?
Chlorophyll, a pigment found in plants and some bacteria, has the ability to absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
When the energy is released by a substance it is called?
Kinetic energy
Does the words dissolve and absorb mean the same thing?
No, they do not mean the same thing. Dissolve refers to a substance becoming incorporated into a liquid and forming a solution, while absorb refers to a substance taking in another substance or energy.
What name do you give to a substance to release energy?
A substance to release energy is usually called a fuel. A chemical reaction that releases energy is called exothermic.
What is the abillity to do work called?
The ability to do work is called "Energy" from what I've gathered.
