Whats 2 main things theat can happen to energy stored in chemical bonds. What cells use this energy for.?

Cells use this energy for their metabolism/ life processes. the life processes include:\nGrowth\nReproduction\nRespiration\nSynthesis\nTransport\nExcretion\nHomeostasis\nNutrition\n\nATP (the molecule in which cells store energy-- specifically, it's found in the bonds), or Adenosine Tri Phosphate, is used for all of these processes. I'm not sure about what you mean, "Two main things"-- but of those proccesses listed above, the "two main" ones would probably be Homeostasis (maintaining a stable internal environment) and Synthesis...

The energy that carnivores obtain from their diet is the chemical energy of molecules in the food.  As they metabolize (oxidize) food molecules, energy is released which is trapped and temporarily stored in the form of ATP molecules.\n\nPlants, on the other hand, absorb light.  The chlorophyll and other pigment molecules in the chloroplasts absorb light, and through the processes in chloroplasts, they are able to use that light energy to produce ATP and to produce electrons that are then available for use by the cell.

Potential energy is stored energy. Once you'll know the potential energy of things, you can make use of this in many applications. It just like knowing your potential to burp many times, you'll show this off to your friends to be cool. Or knowing the potential of your dog to bark and bully someone, you'll bring your dog to your enemies to scare them away!\n\nOn a more serious side, knowing the potential energy of your food (through calories content) will let you know how much energy can you get if you are going to eat them. So, when you are going to have lots of physical activities, you are going to eat these energy giving foods to keep you going.

Energy can take the form of heat, light, vibration, momentum or sound. It can also be stored as potential energy. Anytime you interconvert among these forms of energy, you can say it is "transferred". Chemical reactions can include some or all of these, with chemical bonds representing stored potential energy.\n\nIn nuclear reactions, you can say that energy and matter are interconverted as well.

mitochondria is a power house because thats where all energy comes from. Sugars and oxygen goes into the cell, into the mitochondria, and the mitochondria burns the sugar using oxygen and, this is the process of making ATP, the energy that cells can use to do work. ull find a lot of mitochondria in muscles and the liver.

Hooooo.OK U want all explanation in yahoo answers?I Will try\n\nIN photosynthesis the sunlight energy is used by green plants to prepare food materials.\nn light reaction the sun light activates chlorophyll molecules so that they make NADDP2 and NADH2.These two in Calvin cycle reduce the co2+h2o in to glucose molecule\n\nIN respiration the reverse happens Of course in different steps\nGlucose molecule in respiration (it is a 6 carbon molecule6H12O6) passes through 3 phases to release the energy in the form of ATP(remember solar energy is taken in p.s to make glucose molecule)\n\nIn GLYCOLYSIS of respiration g;ucose divides in to two pyruvic acids which is aC3co,mpound (2X3=6CARBON glucose)\n\nIn KREBSCYCLE THE pyruvic acik(c3)com pound splits in to 3 co2 and while doing so , it producesNADPH2 nd NADH2\n\nINthe last phase the ELECTRON TRANSPORT  the reduced powers or NADH2 AND NADPH2  are oxidised  (at this stage it takes in oxygen_) in to energy(ATP)and co2\nso the end product in respiration is carbondioxide and energ y in the form of ATP

Plants use solar energy to make their food by photosynthesis. They store the sun's energy in the form of carbohydrates.\n\nSolar cells work on fuel cells where they convert the sun's light energy to chemical energy which is to be changed into electrical energy at a future date.

Thermodynamics states that heat is a "by product" of a chemical reaction.  So when chemical bonds are broken or made they require energy.  And since energy cannot be completely conserved in an open system (ie the cell) it is inevitable that heat will be produced.  Since the mitochondria is the "energy factory" of the cell and most of the chemical bonds are made in the form of ATP it would make sense that most of the heat is generated in the place where chemical bonds are made and broken.  So the direct answer to your question is, the chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondira cause heat to be generated.

You are probably referring to metabolism.  Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body's cells to convert the fuel in the food we eat into the energy needed to power everything we do, from moving to thinking to growing. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism, and each chemical reaction is coordinated with other body functions. In fact, thousands of metabolic reactions happen at the same time - all regulated by the body - to keep our cells healthy and working.

Both batteries and condensers store electrical energy.  A battery (actually a set of two or more cells) stores chemical energy while a condenser stores static electric charge. The battery voltage depends on the chemical and metals combined and the number of cells placed in series while the voltage of a condenser depends on the voltage of the source that charged it.

The main mechanism of energy production in the body is through the formation and oxidation of adenosine triphosphate, ATP.  Cells convert carbohydrates (which we eat) into ATP, and then oxidize the molecules later to access the energy in their chemical bonds.

During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical potential energy.

18. D. Oxygen and energy (ATP) are products of aerobic respiration, whcih takes place in the mitocondria.\n\n19. B. The cell membrane is called a LIPID BILAYER. which has 2 layers of phospholipds. the hydrphobic tails in the center. and the 2 heads facing out side the cell and inside the cell. the inner layer would have the head facing the inside of the cell.\n\n20. A. the bactera (monerans) were one of the earliest forms of life. The had the earliest form of sexual reproduction by exchanging DNA with another bacterium through their membranes. They were also mobile (getting around from place to place). For example, some bacteria have flagela, which whip around for them to move. an getting energy from the sun... hmm. well. im not sure if bacteria can photosynthesize. but im 100% sure they can get energy from the sun INDIRECTLY through cellular respiration.

From respiration: Here, glucose molecules in the cell are broken down; the molecules have strong bond between them and so when they are broken, energy is provided(by mitochondria) and when new molecules are formed, energy is released, which the cell uses for various processes.\n\nFrom protein synthesis: It occurs on the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, and aminoacids are combined to form proteins and this releases energy.\n\nFrom ATP(adenosine tri-phosphate): The ATP molecule is a packet of energy which stores the energy released during any process going on in the cell and then releases the energy as and when required by the cell.

C, remember that the electron loses and gets energy several times through the chain.

Adenosine Triphosphate, of course... or ATP for short.  All cells use ATP to generate energy, which the cells accomplish by breaking off one phosphate ion, which triggers a release of energy and turns the ATP molecule into an ADP molecule.

Cells produce energy via cellular respiration. Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm into pyruvic acid and then further broken down in the mitochondria. Free radicals, mainly methyl, work by bonding to your DNA and effectively turning off genes. If the right (or wrong) combinations of genes are turned off via free radicals, cancer could be the result.
