Identify the forms of energy based on each example: Nuclear, Mechanical, Light, Heat, Thermal, chemical energy.
The energy released when two polymers are hydrolyzed.
Separation of positive and negative charges across a membrane drives the movement of ions through channels.
Energy transfer due to a temperature difference.
Photons hit the eye and are interpreted as images Muscles contract allowing for skeletal movement.
A radioisotope decays, releasing large amounts of energy.
The energy released when two polymers are hydrolyzed- heat energy- the transfer of thermal energy is called as heat enerfy. It can be released or absorbed
Separation of positive and negative charges across a membrane drives the movement of ions through channels.- chemical energy- It is the energy stored in the bonds that connect atoms and molecules and release when it is broken
Energy transfer due to a temperature difference.- thermal energy- It is the energy due to movement of atoms across and within themselves like boiling the water.
Photons hit the eye and are interpreted as images - light energy- it is the enrgy produced by luminous things which releases protons.
Muscles contract allowing for skeletal movement.- mechanical energy- It is the movement of things
A radioisotope decays, releasing large amounts of energy- Nuclear energy- It is the enrgy found or stored in the nucleus of an atom
