today’s climate of growing energy needs‚ it is imperative to find sources of renewable or limitless energy. There is a plentiful amount of fossil fuels‚ including coal‚ natural gas‚ and oil. It remains to been seen however‚ if these resources can be depended on in the future. According to the United States Energy Information Administration‚ the U.S. “is the birthplace to some of the word’s greatest clean energy technology”‚ but produces less than half of Germany’s clean energy program. In the last

Lab: Energy Stored in Food Background Questions (5 points each = 10 points): 1. What happens to the molecules of the food that we eat during digestion? 2. What type of metabolism is this? Background information: In this lab we will attempt to set a variety of different types of food on fire and capture the heat energy that is given off. The heat energy from the burning comes form the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the food. The more energy in the bonds‚ the more heat the food will
