How many different ways does/could energy change form during its travels between the Sun and your stomach?

1 answer:

6 0

Energy will take the path from sun to stomach as sun's energy to chemical energy followed by thermal and mechanical energy.

Explanation:

The energy of the sun is in the from of chemical energy which is the ultimate basis of life on earth . The process of photosynthesis occurs to form a chemical compound named glucose. The food ingested is in polymer complex forms as protein, carbohydrate, fats etc which is broken into monomers for absorption in intestine and stomach.

The dietary compound has energy stored in their bonds as chemical energy.

So, from sun human consume chemical energy which is stored in food.

The energy even if consumed by eating meat is also chemical energy which is stored as potential energy.

The breakdown of food or chemical energy into monomers leads to release of thermal energy or heat to maintain optimum body temperature.

Chemical energy also gets converted to mechanical energy which allows functioning of vital organs and movement of body.

Claim and evidence:

puteri [66]

It would happen that the effectiveness of an original vaccine could become less if there was a mutation in the virus that caused the protein spike to change because the antibodies created would not be specific for the new virus.

<h3>What would happen to the mutated virus?</h3>

Vaccines trigger an immune response to fight disease-causing organisms, a mutation in the virus to be fought would change the effectiveness of this immune response, as the specificity would not be the same with the mutant virus.

With this information, we can conclude that The immune response would not be specific for the new virus that caused the protein spike to change.

What role does photosythesis have in the carbon cycle?

cluponka [151]

During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight to create fuel—glucose and other sugars—for building plant structures. This process forms the foundation of the fast (biological) carbon cycle. ... In all four processes, the carbon dioxide released in the reaction usually ends up in the atmosphere.
