What else can I help you with?
What does heat energy mean?
Hot bodies contain thermal energy, this is measured in calories or BTU
What is heat what and are units of heat energy called?
Heat is molecular motion; the units are BTU and calories.
The energy stored in food is measured in units called?
Calories. Actually the unit called Calorie in food energy is the Kilocalorie, ie 1000 calories.
What kind of energy does a dishwasher produce?
A dishwasher doesn't produce energy; it consumes energy to heat water, run the motor, and operate the controls.
Is the watt a measure of heat energy?
No, the watt is a unit of power, which measures the rate of energy transfer or conversion. Heat energy is typically measured in joules or calories.
Which outcome is most likely if a person consumes more calories than needed for daily activities?
Calories are only a measure for 'heat energy' or the energy produced by the oxidation of carbohydrates/fats during work. If energy burnt is less than the food consumed then the fat gets stored in the body to make an organism obese.
How does the energy in a food chain transfer?
Energy in a food chain transfers from one organism to another through the consumption of food. Each time an organism consumes another organism, it gains energy stored in the food consumed. This transfer is not 100% efficient, as some energy is lost as heat at each trophic level.
Why each tropic level didn't receive full amount of available energy?
Once an organism consumes a living thing, it gets energy from it. In a food pyramid, only 10% of the energy is passed on to the consumer. For example if an organism had 1000 calories of energy in it, and it was eaten, the predator would have gotten 10% of 1000 or 100 calories. If an animal eats that animal, it gets 10% of 100 in energy; 10 calories. And so on... NOTE- This is why food pyramids have so few tropic levels
A unit of heat that measures the energy available in foods?
calories.
If a snake receives 200 calories of energy from eating a rabbit how much of that energy is passed on to a hawk?
When a snake consumes a rabbit and receives 200 calories of energy, only a portion of that energy will be transferred to a hawk that eats the snake. Typically, about 10% of the energy at one trophic level is passed on to the next level due to energy loss through metabolic processes, heat, and waste. Therefore, if the hawk eats the snake, it would receive approximately 20 calories of energy from the original 200 calories consumed by the snake.
Are calories of food stuff and calories of heat energy same?
Yes, they are the same type of calories.
