Conduction:
Hold one end of a silver spoon, and place the other end in a flame.
If it stays there long enough, you will burn your hand.
Convection:
Fill a pot with cold water and set it on the burner of a stove.
The water at the top surface becomes warm.
Radiation:
Step outside on a summer's day.
Feel the warmth of the sun on your face.

What are three basic forms of energy and an example of each?
kinetic energypotential energyradiant energy
Describe how energy is transferred from one organism to another?
Each time one organism eats another organism, a transfer of energy occurs.
How is energy transferred in a crash?
The energy in a crash can be transferred in a variety of ways. The most significant way is through mechanical and physical deformation. In a head on collision between two cars, the energy travels through the front of each car, crumpling the metal and machinery. Energy can then be transferred in the form of heat. Although this energy isn't as significant as mechanical energy, during the moment of impact there will be a trace amount of heat created through the scraping of metal. Energy is also transferred through sound waves. When two vehicles collide, the sound of the scraping metal is the transfer of some of the energy through the air.
What is the difference between conduction and radiation?
radiation-energy transferred by waves or rays conduction-transfer of energy that occurs when molecules bump into each other (direct contact)
How does the thermal energy of the cookies transferred to the counter?
Conduction is the term used to describe the transfer of heat energy from one body to another body when they are in contact with each other.

What energy is transferred when molecules hit each other?
Convection
When the energy flow through an ecosystem is measured at each trophic level what percent of the energy is not transferred?
90%
Describe how energy is transferred from one organism to another?
Each time one organism eats another organism, a transfer of energy occurs.
When energy is transferred between trophic levels the amount of available energy lost is about?
9o% of energy is lost at each level
What do you lose at each step of a food chain?
Some energy is lost at each level since not all energy is transferred from the food to the consumer.
Why is there less energy transferred from one organism to the one that feeds on it?
Each organism uses part of the energy for its own maintenance.
Is the calories of food energy that you consume each day are transferred to cytosine for use as an energy source for cells?
No. That's not true.
Give an example of an exercise routine utilizing each of the three major energy pathways How long does the body utilize each pathway as its main energy source Are the examples you gave specifically?
ffefefe
How is energy transferred from one trophic level to another?
when the organisms eat each other they transfer energy, each time one organism eats another, 10% of it's ( the eaten organism ) energy is tranfered to the eater.
How is conduction energy transferred?
Energy is transferred between two molecules in direct contact with each other. For heat energy, this normally occurs during molecular collisions, when the energy in one molecule is imparted to an adjacent molecule (the molecule with less energy gains energy while the one with greater energy will lose energy).
Is it true that The calories of food energy that you consume each day are transferred to cytosine for use as an energy source for cells?
No. That's false.
