Why is a high use of renewable energy necessary to make hydrogen fuel an environmentally sound alternative?

Hydrogen is similar to electricity. Although an electric vehicle, for an example, doesn't create any tail pipe emissions from the vehicle, that may not be the case where the electricity was made. If the electricity was made from an old, smoking, worn out gasoline powered generator in order to charge the electric vehicle, the total pollution created would be much more than that made by a regular gasoline car. However, if the electricity is made by an environmentally friendly renewable source, such as solar or wind, then the total pollution created in powering the electric vehicle would be much less, perhaps even zero. 

<span>Hydrogen can be made from electricity or petroleum. If made from petroleum it wouldn't be much different than gasoline because the rest of the petroleum would have to be used somewhere. If the hydrogen is made from electricity then the question again is where is the electricity being made. </span>

<span>Your question is also a good one because it highlights the "high use" of renewable energy. The production and use of hydrogen in less efficient than running just off of electricity. So you'd have to produce a whole lot more electricity to make hydrogen to drive a car a certain distance than to charge a battery-electric car and drive the same distanc</span>

Which of the following is/are common to chemiosmosis and the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis? electron transport onl
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Both electron transport and a proton gradient

Explanation:

The process of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and electron transport chain in photosynthesis undergo chemiosmosis to produce ATP molecules.

Chemiosmosis is a process where the energy utilized by the movement of proton and electrons produces ATP molecules.

Both the processes involve the movement of electrons through electron carriers where the reduced energy is utilized to drive the flow of protons through the plasma membrane. This creates a proton gradient across the plasma membrane which rotates the ATP synthase and converts the ADP molecules into ATP molecules.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Poisons and salts are removed from the blood by the _____.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Kidneys

Explanation:

The kidneys remove wastes and excess water in the body through the urine, as urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes located on both sides of the bladder called the ureter, and the bladder stores urine, and each of the kidneys consists of about one million filtering units called the renal tubular unit contains Each renal tubular unit has a filter called the glomerulus and tubule, and the renal tubular unit operates through a two-step process:

glomerulus: filters blood.  

Tubule: Returns the necessary substances to the blood and removes waste.
