How energy is transferred from the Sun to a plant?

How energy is transferred from the Sun to a plant? Plants also convert sunlight into other forms of energy. In this case plants convert light energy (1) into chemical energy, (in molecular bonds), through a process known as photosynthesis. The plants convert a tiny amount of the light they receive into food energy. Which part […]

What are the waste by products of solar energy?

What are the waste by products of solar energy? The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimated that at the end of 2016, there were around 250,000 metric tonnes of solar panel waste globally [12]. The solar panels contain lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and many other harmful chemicals that could not be removed if the entire […]

What do we call the smaller molecules from which the macromolecules are built?

What do we call the smaller molecules from which the macromolecules are built? monomers What are large molecules made from smaller organic molecules? Biological macromolecules are large molecules, necessary for life, that are built from smaller organic molecules. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids); each is an […]

Can a human travel a light year?

Can a human travel a light year? This duration is a bit of a problem, as it makes space exploration a painstakingly slow process. Even if we hopped aboard the space shuttle discovery, which can travel 5 miles a second, it would take us about 37,200 years to go one light-year. How fast is a […]

How do membrane proteins perform communication?

How do membrane proteins perform communication? Membrane signaling involves proteins shaped into receptors embedded in the cell’s membrane that biophysically connect the triggers in the external environment to the ongoing dynamic chemistry inside a cell. What is the importance of protein in cell membrane? For example, plasma membrane proteins carry out functions as diverse as […]
