Extra Credit Assignment Energy Transfer in living systems Energy is the capacity to do work. All living organisms require energy for carrying on their vital metabolic activities. The primary source of energy for living system is solar radiation. The radiant energy of sunlight cannot be utilized directly by all living organisms. This ability rests only with the green plants. All the other organisms have to meet their energy requirement only through the green plants. Energy that flows in the living

things and The Sun’s Energy Most of the energy we use is from the sun. This energy from the sun is called solar energy‚ plants convert it into energy‚ and animals eat plants and convert that into energy. Humans eat plants and animals and convert those into energy; humans also use solar energy to create electricity. How exactly then is the sun’s energy converted into a sustainable energy source? One process is photosynthesis. In plants‚ cells called chloroplasts collect energy from the sun and use

Nuclear energy Nuclear energy in scientific terms defined as the inhaustible energy derived from the nucleus of an atom by the process of nucleus break up through nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom splits and releases radioactive materials such as uranium which are used in many ways. Nuclear fusion is a process s when the two atoms of an element get together and large amount of heat is generated. in this way the nucleus releases tremendous

The Role of Energy in the Body M1 Your body needs some kind energy to keep it functioning and working properly; Our bodies inherit the energy they need from food through metabolism. Metabolism is the chemical reactions in the cells that transfer the fuel from food into the energy needed in everyday life to complete daily activities. Energy is needed to get rid of oxygen from certain areas in our bodies and remove it from our bloodstream. Energy comes from; Fats Carbohydrates proteins Without

report presents the emphasis on implementation of renewable energy resources in India. A detailed analysis of the renewable energy sector shows there are less policies and investments in the innovation of this energy. India has limited energy resources and one day it will only depend on renewable energy resources. For this‚ Indian government should implement several measures like sustainable planning; reasonable budget etc. so that renewable energy sources optimally utilized and conserves natural resources
