2. Bioenergetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergetics

   Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry and cell biology that concerns energy flow through living systems. [1] This is an active area of biological research that includes the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms and the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic and enzymatic processes that lead to ...

3. Energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

   The word energy derives from the Ancient Greek: ἐνέργεια, romanized: energeia, lit. 'activity, operation', [4] which possibly appears for the first time in the work of Aristotle in the 4th century BC. In contrast to the modern definition, energeia was a qualitative philosophical concept, broad enough to include ideas such as happiness ...

4. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

   Equilibrium thermodynamics is the study of transfers of matter and energy in systems or bodies that, by agencies in their surroundings, can be driven from one state of thermodynamic equilibrium to another. The term 'thermodynamic equilibrium' indicates a state of balance, in which all macroscopic flows are zero; in the case of the simplest ...

5. Renewable energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy

   A study found that transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems reduces risks from mining, trade and political dependence because renewable energy systems don't need fuel – they depend on trade only for the acquisition of materials and components during construction.

6. State of matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

   This state is briefly attainable in extremely high-energy heavy ion collisions in particle accelerators, and allows scientists to observe the properties of individual quarks. Theories predicting the existence of quark–gluon plasma were developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, [ 16 ] and it was detected for the first time in the laboratory ...

7. Energetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetics

   Energetics is the study of energy, and may refer to: Thermodynamics, branch of physics and chemistry that deals with energy, work and heat; Bioenergetics, field in biochemistry that concerns energy flow through living systems and cells; Energy flow (ecology), study of the energy balance through living things within an ecosystem

8. Electricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity

   The study of electrical phenomena dates back to antiquity, with theoretical understanding progressing slowly until the 17th and 18th centuries. The development of the theory of electromagnetism in the 19th century marked significant progress, leading to electricity's industrial and residential application by electrical engineers by the century ...

   That figure comes from an 1860 study, [297] but modern research shows that the average internal temperature is 36.4 °C (97.5 °F), with small fluctuations. [298] [299] [300] The cells in the human body are not outnumbered 10 to 1 by microorganisms. The 10 to 1 ratio was an estimate made in 1972; current estimates put the ratio at either 3 to 1 ...
