leaves, the plant is able to transform that light-or solar energy-into
chemical energy that is then used as fuel." Based on the evidence above,
what conclusion can be made?
A- This causes plants to produce light.
B-- Plants can turn food into solar energy.
C-- Photosynthesis only occurs at night.
D- Plants need the sun to make food.

- The best solar panels currently available are about 15% efficient in converting sunlight to electricity. A typical home will use about 40. kWh of electricity per day (1 kWh = 1 kilowatt hour; 1kW = 1000 J/s). Assuming 8.0 hours of useful sunlight per day, calculate the minimum solar panel surface area necessary to provide all of a typical homes electricity.

- Fossil fuel, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants all require a transmission network to transport electricity from where it is generated to where it is used. MCFCs, with their smaller size and portability, can be placed much closer to where the power is needed, reducing the need for transmission lines. With this in mind, explain why MCFCs may have a greater advantage for providing power in developing countries versus in developed countries.arrow_forwardHow does a geothermal power plant generate electricity?

- 31 – 33. An article in Scientific American pointed out that replacing a 75-watt incandescent bulb with an 18-watt compact fluorescent bulb would save about 75% in the cost of electricity. Electricity is generally priced per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and the rate is PhP 10/kW-h. Calculate how much money you would save over the life of one compact fluorescent bulb (about 10,000 h).
