How is glucose used in an ecosystem?

Carbohydrates are used as an energy source for many animals and plants. Examples: potato makes starch to store energy and animals eat them to gain the energy they need. Also sugars, which are monomers, are used by the plants as energy source by photosynthesis. Second example would be that insects use a carbohydrate called chitin which is used to build their exoskeleton.


What macromolecules are used for energy?

The human body has three macromolecule energy sources: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Carbohydrates are made up of many individual sugar units which are linked together in long chains. The chains can be straight, or they can be branched. Carbohydrates have the molecular formula C6nH(10n+2)O(5n+1) so they only contain carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Sugars are used for short to intermediate term storage of energy. That's why drinking a sugary drink can give you energy (a sugar rush) for a short time but then it wears off. The amount of energy in sugar is 4 kcal/g.Proteins are usually made of straight chains of linked peptide units. They provide long term energy storage. Proteins contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen with small amounts of sulfur with varying molecular formulas. That is why eating a steak will make you feel full for many hours. Proteins are also used to build up many of the structures in the human body so they are necessary to repair damaged tissue. The amount of energy in protein is 4 kcal/g, just like sugar.Fats are made of up clusters of fatty acids, long chains of repeating CH2 units so they are mostly made of just carbon and hydrogen. Fats are used for long term energy storage. Excess sugar and protein that is consumed by most animals are converted to fats to save the energy for later. The amount of energy in fat is very high, 9kcal/g.


What do cells store small amounts of energy in the form of?

When food is broken down, energy is temporarily stored in a glucose molecule. This is the major reason that overweight persons have a higher risk for Type 2 Diabetes. The more food a person eats, the more glucose molecules are needed to store the body's energy.


What is the equation used to calculate the maximum of e-in an energy level?

The maximum number of electrons in an energy level can be calculated using the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level. This formula is derived from the fact that each energy level can hold up to 2 electrons per orbital, and the number of orbitals in an energy level is given by n^2.

What 2 nutrients store energy?

Two nutrients that store energy in the body are carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates are stored in the form of glycogen in muscles and the liver. Fats are stored in adipose tissue as triglycerides, which can be broken down for energy as needed.


What are three ways that an object can store energy?

An object can store energy in the form of potential energy (stored energy due to its position or state), kinetic energy (energy due to its motion), or chemical energy (energy stored in chemical bonds).

Can anti matter be used as a weapon?

In theory, it might. But consider the following practical considerations:1. Antimatter wouldn't really produce energy, only store it. You need energy to produce antimatter.2. Storing it for a prolonged period of time poses immense practical problems. If antimatter meets normal matter, they will mutually destroy each other. This means that normal containers can't be used to store antimatter.
