Question

The breakdown of ATP releases energy, which is utilized by other reactions that require energy. Identify other examples where inventions have utilized a similar principle, where energy released during one reaction is utilized elsewhere. List three reasons why either one of the processes is more efficent than the other.

Answer 1

inventions as in human inventions? or natural processes?

Answer 2

Like electricity

Answer 3

oh okay. So you can use (1) electricity derived from coal or hydroelectric plants, (2) burning of gasoline to produce mechanical movement in a car, i can't really think of other things right now

Answer 4

ok great thx what about the second part to the question

Answer 5

hm i don't know how we would be able to judge which was more efficient, since they're both different processes. We would also need data on how much energy each generates.

You could compare nuclear power plants vs thermal (coal) power plants, but you'd need to do some looking around on google for information.
