P7 describe the three different energy systems and their use in sport activities ATP full name is adenosine triphosphate. It is found in cells and is a type of energy source. Your body’s cells have energy in which is ATP and most of the things that you do are powered by this, for example, such as muscle contraction, protein construction, and transportation of substrates, communication with other cells, activating heat control mechanisms, and dismantling damaged and unused structures. The alactic

Qualitative data: The Cheetos Puffs burn spread throughout the entire snack-food, while the Lays Potato Chip was very slow. The Lays Potato Chip released much more pungent odor when burned than the other foods. Processed Data The calculation used to determine, using the raw data, the calories per gram in each of the trials is: q = [(mass of water in grams)(specific heat of water)(Change in temperature in Celsius)]/1000 then divide that by grams of snack food lost. An example of how to do this

Introduction Temperature is one of the key environmental factors that affects the survival and reproduction of living organisms. There are certain temperature ranges on which reactions inside a living thing would perform optimally and its performance would decrease as the temperature deviates from that range. The measurement of heart rate can be considered as an indicator of the performance for many living things. Licht et al [1965] studied the effect of temperature on the capacity of performing

Energy comes in a variety of forms: light, heat, motion, electricity, and so forth. The energy stored in food is measured in units of Calories. A Calorie is defined as the quantity of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water 1°C. (Don’t confuse Calories with calories: 1Calorie = 1000 calories – Tricky!) The energy in food is seen as heat because the energy is released as heat when food is combusted (or burned). Complete combustion results in the production of energy, carbon dioxide

The Role and Challenges of Renewable Energy Energy is readily available everywhere and comes in various forms. Our universe was created when an infinitely large ball of energy suddenly collapsed and appeared as a small single speck that still contained vast amounts of energy and very low volume. Energy is a property of matter that allows life to occur. Energy sources can be transferred. Stated more eloquently in the First Law of Thermodynamics, “Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but

effects, and other unfriendly enviromental impacts encouraged humans to seek new alternatives that can offer the ability to generate elecricity in a renewable, clean, economical, and environmentally protectable way.This resulted in a great deal of attention that focuses on research related to renewable energy technologies such as organic solar cells (OSCs). OSCs have the potential of providing law cost renewable energy with a reasnoable efficiency. The major limitations of OSCs are the narrow absorption

demonstrate why solar energy is the superior "clean" alternative. Solar energy is a "clean" energy source because it takes the suns energy and converts it to usable energy without any pollution. The article "How Solar Power Works" explains this process. Solar panels contain cells made of silicon under a layer of glass for protection. These cells, when hit by sunlight, generate what they call electron activity. This electron activity is what creates the energy and that energy can then be stored in
