Energy store. Fats and oils are good sources of energy, whether they are burned in air or metabolized in the body. Regardless of the process, there are certain things in common
a) Besides the oil, what other ingredient is needed to produce energy?
b) What are the end products of the burning or metabolism of oil?
c) Where does the energy produced come from?
d) What would you make of an ad for an oil lamp that promising to regenerate the oil it uses as it burns?
a) Natural gas, Petroleum, Coal and Uranium, Nuclear energy, Biomass, and Geothermal are some of the other ingredient is needed to produce energy.
b)The end products of burning or metabolism of oil are water, carbon dioxide, and an energy storing molecule called ATP.
c)The metabolic energy came from chemical energy that was stored in the molecules of the food.The chemical energy enter into animal whose meat someone ate by the animal digesting a plant and breaking the bonds in its molecules.The plat made the molecules by using light energy from the Sun. The Suns light energy came from electrons in its atoms lowering energy states and releasing energy. The energy in the atoms came from the nuclear reactions in the heart of the Sun.
d)If suppose there is oil lamp which promises regenerating the oil as it burns then we can show the 2 year old child infront of one lamp. We can show his growing age images infront of the same lamp upto his death. Indirectly we mean to say that if once the oil lamp is started then it will never go off. It lasts for year.
