Understand the concept of energy-yielding processes: In chemistry, processes that yield energy typically involve the release of energy, often in the form of heat or light.
Cellular respiration: This is a metabolic process where cells convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), releasing energy. It is an exothermic process.
Photosynthesis: This process occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. It is an endothermic process, requiring energy input.
Endothermic reaction: These reactions absorb energy from the surroundings, typically in the form of heat, and do not yield energy.
Evaporation: This is a physical process where liquid turns into vapor, absorbing energy from the surroundings, and is not considered an energy-yielding process.
