Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules. How do plants store …
The energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient because energy is lost when one trophic level goes to a level higher. This is due to the fact that an organism is not fully consumed. Transportation of the actual organism within the consumer requires energy. Are energy transfers efficient? Efficiency, in terms of energy transfer, is …
Thus, most electric buses operate on routes that do not exceed 40 or 45 miles per hour and average in the teens. The 22-foot bus, which is the predominant electric bus in operation today, is governed around 45 miles per hour. How Far Can electric busses go? Battery electric buses have the electricity stored on …
Activity Overview: Primary energy consists of unconverted or original fuels. … Secondary energy includes resources that have been converted or stored. For example, primary energy sources include petroleum, natural gas, coal, biomass, flowing water, wind, and solar radiation. What is the secondary sources of energy? Secondary energy is energy produced by converting so-called primary energy, …
What is the direct source of energy for muscular contraction is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is not stored in muscle fibers, therefore is depleted within seconds. What is the immediate source of energy for a muscle contraction? The source of energy that is used to power the movement of contraction in working muscles is adenosine …
The electric field intensity between two points is the vector sum of all the electric fields acting at that point. The potential difference between two points tells us the amount of energy acquired by a unit charge when moved from one point to the other. What do you mean by electric potential and electric field …
For homeowners who live in the Northern Hemisphere, the rule of thumb is that solar panels should be oriented toward true south. (For those in the Southern Hemisphere, solar panels should be oriented toward true north.) What is the best direction for a solar panel to face? The traditional advice is to position solar panels …
Electric motor maintenance is limited to coolant changes every 100,000 miles. Engines, in addition to coolant, require regular oil changes, air filters, and likely spark plugs in that time. Both motors and engines are proven to last upwards of 20 years. Do electric car motors wear out? There’s just not that much in an electric …
