Sentences with phrase «which fuel molecules»

The TCA cycle is a process in which fuel molecules are converted into energy.

Not exact matches

VHTR plants could even produce hydrogen for fuel using high - temperature steam electrolysis, which breaks apart the bonds of water molecules; this process is 50 percent more energy - efficient than existing hydrogen production methods.

The BPEC cell developed by the researchers is based on the naturally occurring process of photosynthesis in plants, in which light drives electrons that produce storable chemical energetic molecules, that are the fuels of all cells in the animal and plant worlds.

At one electrode, fuel molecules are broken apart and stripped of negatively charged electrons, which pass through an external circuit to a second electrode.

«We are able to take lignin — which most biorefineries consider waste to be burned for its heat — and turn it into high - value molecules that have applications in fragrance, flavoring and high - octane jet fuels,» Abu - Omar said.

The lander would refuel on the space station, and would utilize liquid hydrogen fuel, which would come from water molecules broken into their composite oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

Once a meal has supplied the body's immediate energy needs, any unused fuel gets converted into long molecules called triglycerides, which are dispatched to fatty tissue where they wait for a signal that the body needs them.

Led by reproductive biologist Alex Travis, the engineering effort focuses on a chain of enzymes that metabolize glucose molecules into the biological fuel ATP (a process known as glycolysis), which enables sperm locomotion.

But optimizing energy production depends on understanding and perfecting the use of catalysts, which cause chemical reactions that break down the molecules of raw materials like oil to create fuel such as gasoline.

Mitochondria are the tiny compartments inside cells that convert glucose in the cell into molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serve as units of energy for fueling the various workings of the cell.

A molecule called ATP (which stands for adenosine triphosphate), is actually the body's key fuel and we have microscopic energy - producing factories in our cells, especially muscle cells, that exist specially to provide us with all - important ATP that can be generated from fats, carbs or proteins.

Insulin is a hormone that allows sugar molecules to enter our cells, which they then use for fuel.

So now the actual thyroid hormone — when we talk about what your mitochondria wants — the type of sparkplug they want to fuel the engine, it wants T3 which is this amino acid terasine with three molecules of iodine on it.

The first half is done in an electrolyzer, which splits a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen, and the second half in a fuel cell, which puts them back together.

This whole house of cards is kept together by the magic powers of Mammon, I suspect, as every aspect of it is highly dubious and afflicted by vast ignorance, starting with the carbon cycle, sinks, our questionable ability to even accomplish a doubling any time soon in view of current fossil fuel reserves, the actual effect if any of the demonized molecule (this engenders the most disparate and esoteric theoretizing,) which effect apparently can not or will not be empirically verified, and so on.

It produces its own hydrogen gas from biomass which means no gas or coal is used to make the necessary hydrogen in the fuel molecules.

We can determine this from isotopic analysis of the CO2 molecules found in the air which identifies those molecules resulting from combustion of fossil fuel.

The artificial leaf is essentially a silicon solar cell that has different catalytic materials bonded to each side that allow it to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen, the latter of which could be stored and used as clean fuel.

They are the power plants of cells, burning fuel with oxygen to create ATP, which are molecules that provide energy for all the processes of life.
