Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms in a process called fission. At the power plant‚ the fission process is used to generate heat for producing steam‚ which is used by a turbine to generate electricity. Nuclear energy usually means the part of the energy of an atomic nucleus‚ which can be released by fusion or fission or radioactive decay. What are the Benefits of Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the world’s largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants

Functional Energy: Fatty Acids (Fats) vs. Amino Acids (Proteins) Fats‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates are sources of energy for the body. Although carbohydrates are the largest source of energy‚ fats and proteins‚ however are just important‚ they contain essential amino chains not found in carbohydrates and are critical to Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) manufacturing on a cellular level. ATP takes the chemical energy from the food to the mitochondria to transform it into energy for the cells. (Dictionary

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources‚ with 10% of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[1] The share of renewables in

Impact (s) 8 Conclusion 9 References 10 INTRODUCTION Biomass is a source of renewable energy. Biomass is a fancy name for material from plants and animals. Some kinds of biomass can be burned to produce energy. One common example is wood. Biomass contains stored energy. That’s because plants absorb energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. When biomass is burned‚ this stored energy is released as heat. Burning biomass releases carbon dioxide. However‚ plants also take carbon
