FLOW OF ENERGY THROUGH THE ECOSYSTEM BY: JULIAN NEME JARED DALLING ALLAN VARELA LIFE DEPENDS ON THE SUN • PHOTOSYNTHESIS: • Is a process used by plants and other organisms to use light energy usually the sun ‚ to make sugar molecules. • The result of photosynthesis is sugar which is called CARBOHYDRATES PRODUCERS‚ CONSUMERS‚ DECOMPOSERS • Producers: is an organism that makes its own food. • Consumers: is organisms that get their energy by eating other organisms. • Decomposers: there organisms

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

RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY A SEMINAR REPORT Submitted by Mr. SWARN SINGH In partial fulfillment for the award of the degree of MASTER OF TECHNOLOGY IN MACHINE DESIGN AT PTU REGIONAL CENTRE BABA BANDA SINGH BAHADUR ENGINEERING COLLEGE FATEHGARH SAHIB DEC 2011 ABSTRACT The study of renewable energy sources is an important topic in the field of the combustion science. Fuels obtained from biomasses could become a valid alternative to the use of fossil fuels‚ also in the light of

We require energy for each and every activity that is being performed whether physically or chemically. This energy is acquired from the food we eat. In order to release that energy‚ certain anabolic and catabolic reactions take place. The three main energy systems are ATP Pcr‚glycolytic and oxidative; oxidative having three futher subgroups. These are discussed below ATP Pcr The ATP Pcr system is a constituent of Adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine. This energy system provides high energy

total generating capacity of 3‚000 megawatts‚ equivalent to the peak output of three large nuclear reactors. Initiative critics claim that solar electricity is too expensive‚ and that the money spent on solar incentives would be better spent on other energy options. These critics‚ including Severin Borenstein‚ whose views appear on this page‚ assume electricity produced from natural gas and coal-fired power plants would cost today what it cost in 2001- 2005‚ thus ignoring the major increases in the price

We all see the sun light every day‚ once you step outside on a hot day you fell its power and how destructive and life giving it is. Solar energy is the energy of the future‚ the main problem we have is making sure it is efficient and cheap. It seems that it would be simple to capture the sun’s rays and make electricity‚ but the material that “captures” the rays is very expensive due to it having to be a really pure material; if we use materials that are not as “pure” the electric current can’t go
