How can matter and energy be intercharged?

Question

Can u plz help me with this fiil in da blank questions thnx!!!

Matter an energy can be intercharged as energy from the ________ is used in the process of photosynthesis to procude matter that can be converted back into __________ by various organisms.

Answer 1

I think the question is looking for "Sun" and "energy". But at the first answer points out, the question itself is very wrong!

Matter and energy are NOT interchanged in photosynthesis; and matter is NOT converted back to energy by (the process of respiration in) organisms.

Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions cannot create or destroy mass or energy, nor convert one to the other. The Laws of Conservation of Mass and Conservation of Energy are the foundation of chemistry.

Photosynthesis merely exchanges a few atoms between some input molecules (carbon dioxide and water) to produce a different set of output molecules (sugar and oxygen), while storing the input energy (solar radiation) in the chemical bonds of the output molecules (chemical potential energy). No mass is converted to energy, or vice versa - the mass of the products is exactly equal to the mass of the inputs.

Only nuclear reactions can convert matter to energy, as in stars or nuclear reactors; or convert energy to matter, as in the Big Bang (nucleosynthesis).

If this is a homework question, I hope you enjoy showing your teacher how wrong their question is!

Answer 2

the concern with this simplistic analogy is that it relatively is impossible to stress capability to offer remember. It occurs at very small scales, yet by way of fact of entropy, loose capability or capability interior the form of sunshine or warmth is plenty plenty greater in all probability than capability being compelled to be based mass. The opposite technique, regardless of the undeniable fact that, is completed. Nuclear explosions are a effect of the opposite technique, it relatively is, mass changing into capability. it may be observed that no longer each and every of the uranium/plutonium mass is annihilated in a reaction, so which you do no longer see explosions which might cripple the international ( that little 9x10^sixteen joules you have up there). purely a small volume of the fabric easily annihilates. to comprehend purely how serious it relatively is, purely open a e book and seem on the propose life of a particle including a pion, which provides up the large majority of its mass while it decays into an electron/positron and photon.

Answer 3

mass and energy are interchangeable as the relation say that E=mc2. but in case when mass changes to energy it is lost. may be changed into form of photons having mass zero.

in case of photosynthesis since we apply law of conservation of mass and when we write that in terms of chemical equation we do not show that such an amount of mass hasbeen converted into energy, it is understood that mass is not converted into energy. energy is only stored in glucose molecules in the form of bonds and released when these bons breaks.

Answer 4

I really hope it wasn't your science teacher who asked you that question because photosynthesis does not change energy to matter. it converts solar energy to chemical energy. The amount of matter does not change.

Answer 5

Every chemical reaction interchanges energy and matter.

When you burn a piece of wood the ashes and the gases emitted weigh just a tiny bit less than the oxygen and wood did to start with.

Nuclear reactions just change more matter into more energy.

Google photosynthesis to get your answer.

Answer 6

(1) Sun
(2)Energy

Answer 7

Photosynthesis does not change change matter to energy. Only nuclear reactions can do that.

Answer 8

through a chemical reaction, such as using fire to burn an object.
