A vegetable oil is a triglyceride extracted from a plant. Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia.[1] The term "vegetable oil" can be narrowly defined as referring only to substances that are liquid at room temperature‚[2] or broadly defined without regard to a substance’s state of matter at a given temperature.[3] For this reason‚ vegetable oils that are solid at room temperature are sometimes called vegetable fats. Vegetable oils are composed of triglycerides‚ as contrasted with waxes which

Alternative Energy Alternative Energy whether used for transportation or utilities such as generating electricity for home or business is a very significant subject going on right now because of the benefits it would provide for us‚ such as environmental‚ economic‚ job security and energy security. I believe alternative energy would be beneficial to our society‚ especially if it is used in transport; there is many other better‚ leaner and reusable energy sources out there‚ for example fuel for

Alternate Energy What would it be like to live in the dark? Finding new forms of alternative energy has been a major concern throughout the world for the past several years. Currently‚ our main sources of energy are coal for electricity‚ and oil for transportation. Alternative energy‚ also known as renewable energy‚ is defined as energy derived from sources that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment. At the rate we are using these nonrenewable resources oil is scheduled to run

Heat energy Temperature – measure of the average KE of the particles in a substance‚ measured in degrees Celsius or degrees Kelvin. Celsius 0⁰C (freezing point of water) to 100⁰C (boiling point of water) Kelvin 0 K (absolute zero‚ particles stop moving theoretically)‚ equivalent to -273.15⁰C. Uses the same scale for increase‚ ie. a 1⁰C increase in temperature equates to a 1K increase in temperature. Heat – amount of energy transferred‚ measured in Joules (J) Kinetic Energy‚ Thermal

Effect of Fossil Fuels on Biodiversity & Alternative Energy Resources Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits derived from the remains of ancient plants and animals under enormous amounts of heat and pressure. Oil‚ or petroleum‚ is one of the most common fossil fuels utilized by people all over the world on a daily basis. Crude oil is a smelly‚ yellow-black‚ viscous liquid composed of mostly nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ and sulfur‚ which is found in underground reservoirs. Oil is nonrenewable which means once it
