NADPH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)
The significance of the redox potential in the electron transport chain is that it represents the energy required to absorb electrons. (True / False)
False
The significance of the redox potential in the electron transport chain is that it represents the energy required to transfer electrons
The stored energy of any form that may be converted to heat that is ultimately lost to space is called a ____-________ Energy Resource.
Non-Renewable
Energy flows that are replenished at the same rate as they are used may also be defined as the usage of any energy storage reservoir that is being refilled at rates comparable to that of extraction is referred to as _________ Energy Resource.
Renewable
The property of a system that quantifies the “quality” of the energy contained in the system—an amount of fuel, a mass of air in motion, or the entire Earth-atmosphere system—is referred to as _______.
Entropy
An irreversible process by which kinetic energy is transformed into sensible heat, accompanied by increased entropy, is referred to as ________.
Friction
_____ is created in some parts of the interior of the Earth as a result of radioactive disintegration of atomic nuclei
Heat
A process in which the only change is heat transfer from a lower to a higher temperature is referred to by the ______ Law of Thermodynamics.
Second
_______ __________ is used not only to deliver energy from the sites of generation to the dominant sites of energy use but also to deal with the temporal mismatch between renewable energy generation and variations in demand.
Energy Transmission
______-_______ Analysis refers to the scientific and technical analysis of impacts associated with a product or a system.
Life-cycle
______-______ assessment refers to the political evaluation based upon the analysis
Life-cycle
________ analysis includes impacts from the main chain as well as impacts caused by the provision of sideline inputs, which are allocated to the chain and investigated by the fraction of production entering the chain.
Chain
________ _______ analysis involves calculating the impacts from each device in the system separately and summing them up at the end.
System level
_______ _______ analysis treats the energy sector directly while treating other sectors of the economy indirectly.
Partial system
____________ __________ must be a strong international priority, with efforts at least as serious as in the case of greenhouse gas emissions, to solve the lack of success in creating economic welfare for all the inhabitants of the world.
Population Stabilization
Humans have successively developed new activities that have allowed them to gain access to larger amounts of energy. _______ Energy refers to the energy that may have been used for drying purposes, and as soon as fires became available, several activities based on firewood energy may have started, including heating, food preparation, and process heat for tool making.
Solar
_____ _______ are implemented to generate electrical power from the kinetic energy of the air.
Wind Turbines
The “4D Energy Transition” stands for
Decarbonization,
Decentralization,
Digitalization, and
Democratization

-To ascribe the emissions to those
using or benefiting from the ________ or ________ causing the emission
financial owners,
product, service
