How does the process of absorption contribute to the medium's intake of energy?

The process of absorption allows the medium to take in energy by absorbing and incorporating it into its structure. This absorption of energy helps the medium to increase its internal energy levels and carry out various functions.


How does the transformation of energy take place in hydropower plant station?

In a hydropower plant, the transformation of energy occurs as potential energy in water stored in a reservoir is converted into mechanical energy when the water flows downhill through turbines. The turbines then spin generators, producing electricity through electromagnetic induction. This electrical energy is then transmitted via power lines to homes and businesses for use.


What energy transfers take place in a hydroelectric power plant?

In a hydroelectric power plant, the potential energy of water stored in a reservoir is converted into kinetic energy as the water flows downhill. The kinetic energy of the flowing water rotates the turbine, which then drives the generator to produce electrical energy. Ultimately, the energy is transferred from mechanical energy to electrical energy.


Where does energy conversion take place on the sun?

Well when you have a solar pannel your converting the suns light energy into energy that you can use. When you have lets say an ice cream, your converting the suns heat energy to energy that makes your ice cream melt. By: Linsey M. Chancellor


Is thermal heat and electricity is same?

No. Solar power is not the same as thermal energy. Thermal energy is the random kinetic motion of microscopic molecule. Solar power on the other hand is derived from electromagnetic waves. For example: lets take a plant. If you put a plant in a dark room and heat the plant, the plant will still die even though it is supplied with thermal energy. However if you now add light(of specific wavelengths) the plant will thrive. So the plant can discern the difference between thermal energy and solar energy. Hope that helps

sunlight!


What is the difference between energy releasing reaction and energy absorbing action?

Beacuse when you release energy out of your body or somthing, somthing has to take in the energy so absorbing;SO, it's like a chain reaction you release somthing els takes in, like humans breath oxygen plants breath our carbon dioxide and plants give us oxygenSo, it differs because when energy-realses somthing needs to take that energy in as in absorbing


What does the sun do for plants?

The plant feeds and consumes energy from the sun through a system called Photosynthesis. Plants take in the suns energy and convert its energy and uses the energy to keep itself alive. Thats why plants grow towards the light.


How long does it take for the suns solar energy to reach earth?

About 8-1/3 minutes.

Chlorophyll in a plant's leaves take in energy from?

Chlorophyll takes energy from sunlight.


Do chemical reactions that absorb energy occur without a source of energy?

Not really. Even endothermic (energy absorbing) processes that appear to have no energy source take that energy from their environment. This can often be measured as a temperature drop.


Name three things a plant needs roots for?

Plant roots help: 1. Sunlight to stay warm 2. To take up water. 3. To take up nutrients 4. Cut them down when winter comes 5. Grow them in the spring.


Will a plant with water and no sunlight survive longer than a plant with sun and no water?

Yes. Even at night, plans produce energy, though it involves absorbing oxygen and producing CO2 (as opposed to the standard photosynthesis that occurs with sunlight). Take deep sea plants for example. On the other hand, without water, the plant will dehydrate and quickly die.


Where does the plant cell collect its energy?

I think plant cells have chloroplasts which take in light energy and converts it into carbohydrates by using photosynthesis


Plants take in energy in the form of what during photosynthesis?

The plants take in energy by absorbing sunlight.
