What is the purpose of a dielectric in a capacitor?
Two functions - it provides electrical insulation, and it increases the capacitance, i.e., the amount of charge - and therefore also the amount of energy - that can be stored at a given voltage.
How does the sun maintain its energy output?
the sun maintain its energy output by nucler fusion
As matter and energy move from grasses to coyotes the amount of available energy?
The amount of available energy will decrease.The amount of available energy will decrease.The amount of available energy will decrease.The amount of available energy will decrease.
What is a comparison of the amount of energy before conversion with the amount of useful energy after conversion?
Energy Efficiency
Which orbital has the least amount of energy?
the innermost energy level has the least amount of energy
Why do organisms need energy to develop even after they have reached adulthood?
they need to maintain their basic metabolism to keep cell functions
What is an Example of a basal metabolism activity?
The amount of energy required to maintain an individual in a resting state.
Why does your iPhone waste battery while in sleep mode?
It is not 'wasting' energy; it is using energy to maintain a number of functions and keep them standby for instant use. If you do not want to waste battery energy, switch off the phone completely.
How many functions are performed by organisms?
Organisms respond to stimulus, maintain homeostasis, use energy, grow and develop, reproduce, and evolve. So....around six.
How does a horse gets its energy?
Horses like most every mammal gets it's energy from the food it eats and the water it drinks. Horses derive energy from grass, hay and in domestic situations grains or processed bagged feeds. They require protein to build and maintain muscle and vitamins and minerals to maintain proper bodily functions.

What are two maintain the body's health?
Energy balance is important for maintaining a healthy weight. The amount of energy or calories you get from food and drinks (energy IN) is balanced with the energy your body uses for things like breathing, digesting, and being physically active (energy OUT):The same amount of energy IN and energy OUT over time = weight stays the same (energy balance)More energy IN than OUT over time = weight gainMore energy OUT than IN over time = weight lossTo maintain a healthy weight, your energy IN and OUT don't have to balance exactly every day. It's the balance over time that helps you maintain a healthy weight.You can reach and maintain a healthy weight if you:Follow a healthy diet, and if you are overweight or obese, reduce your daily intake by 500 calories for weight lossAre physically activeLimit the time you spend being physically inactive
How does the sun maintain its energy output?

What represents the energy needed to maintain essential body functions expressed as calories per hour per square meter of body surface?
basal metabolismEtymology: Gk, basis + metabole, changethe amount of energy needed to maintain essential body functions, such as respiration, circulation, temperature, peristalsis, and muscle tone. Basal metabolism is measured when the subject is awake and at complete rest, has not eaten for 14 to 18 hours, and is in a comfortable, warm environment. It is expressed as a basal metabolic rate, according to Calories per hour per square meter of body surface. See also Calorie.
