Energy

You didn't get the whole story. A cowboy left for town on friday. stayed for 3 days and came back on friday. How did he do it.......... his horse was named friday.

The main source of environmental change is human activities, particularly related to industrialization, deforestation, agriculture, and the burning of fossil fuels. These activities release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to global warming, climate change, and other environmental disruptions. Efforts to reduce and mitigate these sources of environmental change are crucial to protecting the planet.

The movement of materials in living things is called transport. This process involves the movement of substances like water, nutrients, and gases within cells, tissues, and organs to support various biological functions.

Phagocytosis is carried out using ATP as the energy molecule. ATP provides the energy needed for the formation of pseudopods and engulfment of the particle by the phagocyte.

No, kerosene is not natural gas. Kerosene is a liquid fuel derived from petroleum, while natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel composed mainly of methane. They have different chemical compositions and properties.

unlimited supply of wind energy that is costless. With no hidden effects of wind energy the more wind farms that are around the less pollution in the atmosphere. Wind energy is a natural resource and if it is being used there is nothing being taken from the environment by harnessing it. Therefore there is an endless supply of wind energy and if many are placed it provide electricity for city's

A lightbulb usually won't use thermal energy, only electrical energy.

By conservation of energy, if 10% of the electrical energy is converted into radiant energy, the remainder is wasted - basically as heat.

Solar energy heats the Earth by radiating from the sun and being absorbed by the Earth's surface. The heat is then transferred throughout the atmosphere by convection, where it warms the air and creates different temperature layers within the atmosphere. This process is essential for regulating the planet's climate and supporting life on Earth.

The thermal energy to melt Earth's inner rock primarily comes from the decay of radioactive isotopes present in the Earth's core and mantle, as well as residual heat from the planet's formation. This heat causes the rocks to melt and form magma beneath the Earth's surface.

Geothermal energy is considered better than biomass because it is more reliable and consistent, as it does not rely on variable fuel sources like biomass. Geothermal energy also has a smaller environmental footprint, with lower emissions and land use requirements compared to biomass energy production. Additionally, geothermal energy tends to have lower operational costs and longer lifespan of facilities compared to biomass plants.

Fungi obtain their food energy by absorbing nutrients from their surroundings through their mycelium. They secrete enzymes that break down organic matter into simpler compounds, which are then absorbed by the fungi to provide energy for growth and reproduction. This process is known as extracellular digestion.

Waves are generally caused by disturbances in a medium, such as wind blowing over a body of water, seismic activity in the Earth's crust, or vibrations in a guitar string. These disturbances transfer energy through the medium, creating wave motion.

Linear back and forth motion at any speed is technically termed "Reciprocating Motion".

Photosynthesis is a metabolic pathway that converts light energy into chemical energy. Its initial substrates are carbon dioxide and water; the energy source is sunlight (electromagnetic radiation); and the end-products are oxygen and (energy-containing) carbohydrates, such as sucrose, glucose or starch. This process is one of the most important biochemical pathways,[1] since nearly all life on Earth either directly or indirectly depends on it as a source of energy. It is a complex process occurring in plants, algae, as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria. Photosynthetic organisms are also referred to as photoautotrophs

The largest geothermal field in the world is located in The Geysers in California, USA. It covers an area of around 45 square miles and is one of the most productive geothermal areas for electricity generation.

Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when an object moves from a higher position to a lower position due to the change in the gravitational forces acting on the object. As the object moves downward, it gains speed and its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. This conversion follows the law of conservation of energy, where energy is neither created nor destroyed but only changes form.

The best way to melt ice on a sidewalk is by using rock salt or calcium chloride. These de-icers work by lowering the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt. It's important to follow the instructions on the product packaging and to use gloves when handling these chemicals.

== == Nuclear energy is considered safe by some when compared with some other energy sources.

There are three safety issues with nuclear energy: * Controlling the rate of reaction so that it does not get unmanageable. If the rate of reaction is uncontrolled, the reaction cannot be contained, such as in a 'meltdown,' and the outside environment will be exposed to high levels of radioactivity.

* Managing the exposure to radioactive materials used in the reactor. This is necessary during the extraction, concentration, transport, storage and disposal stages, but is most important at stages after concentration, as the radioactivity levels are higher. Disposal of the waste material is a major issue, as the radioactivity from these materials is high for thousands of years. * Security of the material in some of these concentrated states, as they could be used in nuclear weapons.

Contrary to popular belief, the reactors inside a nuclear power facility are not nuclear bombs, and even if a meltdown does occur, the result will not be anything like the blast destruction capability of warheads. Reactors are built fairly deep underground to allow quite a bit of natural radiation shielding against a disaster. Believe it or not, just about every submarine and aircraft carrier in the US. Navy is powered by a nuclear reactor. Nuclear power was probably put into use before it should have been, and the resulting accident scared many people into thinking it is not safe.

If organisms did not lose heat through bodily activities such as sweat, your body would increase in heat such as receiving a fever. Biology states that an organism under high heats would cause the enzyme-substrate composition of an organism to denature, or deform, causing problems of some functions in the organism. If too much denaturing occurs the organism may also face a possibility of death.

No noble gas possesses 6 electrons in the 6th energy level. Noble gases have a stable electron configuration with a full valence shell. Helium has 2 electrons in its first and only energy level, while neon has 10 electrons in its second energy level.

NAD is an energy carrier which is involved in the process of glycolysis. It is reduced to NADH when a hydrogen atom is added.

Living things store energy in the form of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These molecules are broken down through metabolic processes to release energy as needed for various cellular functions. Additionally, some organisms can store energy in specialized structures such as fat cells or glycogen in animals, or starch in plants.

Currently Montcalm County recycles approximately 800,000lbs per year. The county mobile site program takes in 500,000lbs and Greenville curbside takes in around 300,000lbs. With 60,000 residents this amount is on the low side, however being a largely rural community these numbers are above similar rural counties.

Recycling in Montcalm County wouldn't exist to even this scale if the county didn't have a landfill. Around $.80 is paid to the County to fund waste diversion efforts (Recycling, HHW, Education), per ton of waste the enters the landfill.

In August 2012 the mobile sites will be replaced with permanent unmanned drop off sites and yearly recycle poundage is expected to double the current amount.
