The answer is; D


Solar cells usually convert solar energy into electricity which could later be reserved. The efficiency of solar cells is still low, compared to other sources, with a conversion rate of 15% - 22%. This reduces the attractiveness of solar cells as a competitive source of energy. This also makes this form of energy expensive due to its inefficiency.

Answer: D. Energy must be collected, converted into another form, and stored until needed.

Explanation:

Solar energy is the energy that is harnessed by the radiant energy coming from the sunlight. The radiant energy present in the sunlight consists of thermal energy which can be used for the purpose of generation of electricity.  It is a renewable form of energy.

With the increase in the population worldwide the demand for the resources for generation of energy will also increase. Although the solar energy is the alternative form of energy but the demand for this resource is expected to increase with the non-availability of the conventional sources of energy like fossil fuels.

Thus the competition to obtain the solar energy may increase in future. Hence, the energy from sunlight should be captured and stored so that it can be converted into another form when required.

If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same a
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Here is the full question:

(A) If a closed container contains a mouse as well as enough food, water, and oxygen for the mouse to live for 3 weeks,

How much will the container weigh 1 and 2 weeks later after the  mouse has eaten, drunk and exercised (respiration is CO2 emission), and why?

(B) If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same answer as in (A) and why?

Explanation:

(A) The mouse will weigh the same. This is because solids, liquid, and gases cannot escape the closed container. All of the life processes involving reactions conserve the atoms involved. Some of those atoms will appear in the form of gases, some as solids, and others as liquids but all will be retained in the closed container.

(B) In a wire cage, gases can escape. This means that the weight will not be the same after 1 and 2 weeks. The weight would be less than the original weight of the mouse, it's food, and it's water.
