Next, ATP plus a base and also GTP (both observed in only one group) produced a tiny amount of light, and NADH, ATP plus an acid, and plain lantern producing no light. ... These are components of a firefly's abdomen that make it light up. ... Materials and Methods Although all materials needed for this experiment could be obtained at any time, speed was of the essence. ... We then observed the light energy that was released on a scale of 0-5. Zero being no light was omitted and five being the most light omitted. ...

On these panels are light sensitive photo-voltaic cells. When light strikes the cells, the electrons are excited and the light energy is able to be converted into electricity. ... Weighing around 600 pounds a solar powered car can travel the same speeds as regular cars, but five times more efficient. ... The fusion of the atoms would form helium molecules, and produce energy in the form of heat and light. ... We use energy everyday, whether it is to turn on a light, or to drive to school, but the energy we use causes lots of global environmental issues like global warming and pollution. ...

Enzymes control the speed in which reactions take place and without them, organisms such as humans would cease to exist (Biology 12, pg.50) Every single molecule in existence has some energy and that energy can be classified as kinetic or potential energy. ... Enzymes are used as catalysts to lower the amount of activation energy and speed up the rates of reactions which is shown in the work "Activation Energy: Kick starting Chemical Reactions" by Vance Kite. ... Once the enzyme binds to the substrate, the enzyme will act as a catalyst, speed up the reaction and release the produc...
