Explain how wood produces chemical energy

1 answer:

4 0

Wood, when dry, stores chemical energy. This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is converted into heat, or thermal energy. This also produces light energy. As a result of burning, the wood turns into an entirely new substance - ashes. Wood, a form of fuel with lots of potential energy stored in its covalent bonds, will react with molecules of oxygen in the air in a dramatic chemical reaction we call fire. The complex molecules in the wood have 'high energy' covalent bonds, as do the molecules of oxygen.

What will cause a decrease in market equilibrium price and an increase in equilibrium quantity? - an increase in supply - an inc

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

- an increase in supply

Explanation:

The interaction between the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied determines the price and the equilibrium quantity in a market economy. This is due to the rationality criteria of the economic agents (consumers will buy more quantities at the lowest possible price) and the law of supply and demand, according to which the excess / lack of products causes price decrease / increase and also an increase / decrease in quantity demanded. Thus, in order for the equilibrium price to decrease and the equilibrium quantity to increase, there must be an increase in supply, as there will be more products on the market, which will cause the price to fall. After the price drops, consumers will demand more. In this way, new price and quantity balance parameters will be determined.

what percentage of the energy flowing through primary producers is ultimately transferred to secondary consumers?

Finger [1]

Energy transfer is the transmission of food energy from organism to the next which is illustrated as the food chain. Normally and typically, the autotrophs are the photosynthetic organisms that primary makes food for itself and for other organisms. Hypothetically, we can assume that about 6000 kilocalories per square meter per year these autotrophs can collect and store energy. Primary consumers like omnivores such as deer, cow, birds and etc. receive almost 10% as much from these autotrophs. Secondary consumers receive for as much as 1% of the total energy that was from the autotrophs.
