How is energy transferred when object are in contact?
conduction occurs
What type of energy transformation occurs when a light bulb is on?
Electrical energy is transferred into light energy, however if the light bulb is an older one, some energy will also be transferred into heat loss.
Describe how energy is transferred from one organism to another?
Each time one organism eats another organism, a transfer of energy occurs.
What process occurs when all energy from light waves is transferred to a medium?
You're talking about the process of "absorption".When all of the energy in a beam of light is absorbed by something ...-- The thing looks black.-- The thing becomes warmer.-- The thing acquires momentum in the direction away from the light source.That's the process that drives a comet's 'tail' in the direction away from the sun.It's also the principle of the proposed space 'sail' that would use the pressure ofsolar radiation for propulsion in the inner solar system.
What transfer of energy naturally occurs between objects?
If two objects of different temperature are brought into contact, internal energy is transferred via heat. If two objects collide, kinetic energy is transferred between them.
Which transfer of energy occurs mainly through the process of convection?
Energy transfer by convection is primarily restricted to fluids. One of the significant modes of heat transfer is convective heat transfer.
What does medium mean in science?
A medium is a substance in which a process occurs.
What occurs when energy is transferred from light waves to?
absorption
How is energy transferred when objects are in objects?
conduction occurs

Why is the process that occurs in the motohomdria considered to be the opposite of the process that occurs in the chloroplasts?
Mitochondria= respiration-energy+o2 Chloroplasts=photosynthesis-food - energy
