What type of energy is it when the plant is transferred to the animal and then the animal to the decomposer?

Question

Also what type of energy is it when the decomposer is transferred to the coal and oil. The coal and oil is transferred to the gas and the gas is transferred to the car? Thnx!!

Answer 1

I assume you mean when the plant is ingested by the animal?  It would remain chemical energy the entire time.  In each step of the process, some (actually most) of the chemical energy is converted to heat, but until the car burns that energy, transforming it to heat energy it remains chemical energy the entire time.   Just remember there are only four kinds of energy, heat, chemical, mechanical and electrical.  If your still not quite sure check out the links.

Answer 2

animal takes plant as food in the form of organic molecules, its chemical energy, then from animal and plnats to decomposers its again chemical energy. in coal and oil its is chemical energy and in gas when transferred to the car changes into mechnical energy.

In all these changes some amount of energy is changed in to heat.

Answer 3

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's called the Nitrogen Cycle.

plants can only use nitrogen after it has been converted to nitrate. Nitrates are made either by bacteria in the soil or in some select cases, by the plants themselves. Plants use nitrate to build plant tissue, which is then eaten by animals. When animals die and decompose bacteria and fungi return the nitrogen back to the soil and the cycle starts again.

Not sure on the rest of that, but I'm sure someone will be a better help than I.

Answer 4

(1) masticating the grass is Mechanical energy

(2)digestion is chemical energy

(3)throwing out is again mechanical energy

(4) decompose is Bio-energy

Answer 5

heat i think

Answer 6

Potential
