Explain how water can transfer energy by conduction and by convection?

In conduction, water molecules pass energy through direct contact with neighboring molecules, transferring it without moving the water itself. In convection, energy transfer occurs through the movement of water molecules, as warmer water rises and cooler water sinks, creating a circulation pattern that distributes the energy throughout the water body.


What energy transformation is in a boiling pot of water?

The energy transformation in a boiling pot of water is from thermal energy (heat) to kinetic energy (movement of water molecules) as the temperature rises and water molecules gain enough energy to escape as water vapor.


What carried from particle in a water wave?

In a water wave, energy is carried by the movement of water molecules. As the wave travels, the energy is transferred from one water molecule to the next, causing them to oscillate in a circular motion. This movement of energy is what creates the visible wave pattern on the surface of the water.


What form of energy does the water have due to the random motion of its particles?

The water has kinetic energy due to the random motion of its particles. This energy is derived from the movement of the water molecules as they vibrate and rotate.


What is transferred by water wave?

Energy and momentum are transferred by water waves. As the water molecules move in a wave motion, they transfer energy from one point to another. This energy transfer creates the movement we observe in water waves.

What provides the energy that water needs to evaporate?

These energy sources are the movement of water molecules and the temperature.

What is the natural tendency of molecules to spread from an area high concentration to an area of low concentration?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP (energy). A related term: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP (energy). In contrast, active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration but DOES use ATP (energy).


Is this correct no energy is required for the movement of water molecules across the cell membrane?

No, energy is required for the movement of water molecules across the cell membrane. This process is known as osmosis, where water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, requiring energy to overcome the concentration gradient.


How can the movement of molecules help explain why hot water evaporates faster?

If the water is cold, that means that water molecules have small speed, in hot water, molecules have greater speed, thus greater energy, and need less energy than cold water to be kicked out through the surface.

Osmosis does not require what?

Osmosis does not require energy input, such as ATP, for the movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Instead, it relies on the concentration gradient of solute molecules to drive the movement of water molecules.


What breaks down food molecules without using energy?

Water, and your body. :)

The water has kinetic energy due to the random motion of its particles. This energy is derived from the movement of the water molecules as they vibrate and rotate.


Why does water change from a liquid to a gas in evaporation?

Evaporation is caused by the continuous Brownian movement of water molecules; several molecules gain sufficient energy to escape in the atmosphere.
