because it is bigger and can store more energy
Hydroelectric power is generated using the potential energy stored in water at a height. When water flows downhill through turbines, the gravitational potential energy is converted into mechanical energy to generate electricity. Therefore, the greater the height difference or potential energy of the water, the more electricity can be produced.
Lactic acid has a higher potential energy than water. This is because lactic acid contains chemical bonds that store more energy compared to the bonds in water.
Both are forms of energy. Potential energy is the available energy that could be used and Kinetic energy is the energy actually being used. Think of Potential energy as being a high cliff with water on top. The higher the cliff the more energy available. If no water is falling though, there is noting being used, But the potential for falling water is still there. Kinetic energy is the water that actually falls.
Water in a hydroelectric dam has potential energy that came from the Sun's energy evaporating it and raising it up from the oceans. The energy is released by running the water down a chute so that it gains kinetic energy which drives a water turbine and that drives an electric generator.
Think about what happens in a hydroelectric plant. The potential energy in the water is called 'potential' because the water has a place to go-- down. As the water falls it gains more and more kinetic energy. What is the water made to do before it's released? It passes through huge turbines and it makes the turbines spin. It's the spinning of the turbines that generates electricity. The kinetic energy of the water is converted to electricity.
Glucose plus P (phosphate) has more potential energy than glucose alone. This is because the addition of a phosphate group increases the potential energy of the molecule due to the additional chemical bonds and electrostatic interactions present in the phosphorylated form.
By filling the dam with more water, because by doing that it gains more gravitational potential energy which is the same as potential energy.
One molecule of glucose stores more potential energy than two molecules of pyruvic acid because glucose has more carbon-hydrogen bonds, which can be broken down to release energy through cellular respiration. Pyruvic acid is an intermediate product of glucose metabolism and has already undergone some breakdown, resulting in a lower energy content.
No.
yes
Cellulose is made up of multiple glucose units bonded together in a complex structure, which allows for more potential energy storage due to the greater number of bonds that can be broken to release energy. Glucose, on the other hand, is a simple sugar with a single molecule, providing less energy storage potential compared to the complex structure of cellulose.
If you mean hydraulic energy, you don't really "convert water to energy". If the water is in a higher position, it has more energy (potential energy); when it falls down, this potential energy is converted to some other type of energy.
they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.
The solubility of glucose increases with temperature because higher temperatures provide more kinetic energy to the glucose molecules and the solvent (usually water). This increased energy enhances the interactions between the glucose molecules and water, allowing more glucose to dissolve. Additionally, the increased movement of solvent molecules helps break apart the glucose molecules, facilitating their entry into the solution. Overall, the increased thermal energy promotes greater solvation and dissolution of glucose in water.

Hydroelectric power is generated using the potential energy stored in water at a height. When water flows downhill through turbines, the gravitational potential energy is converted into mechanical energy to generate electricity. Therefore, the greater the height difference or potential energy of the water, the more electricity can be produced.
No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.
