It means the amount of energy in the system stays the same it just transfers or changes form. As a example, think of a light bulb which when given 100 watts of electrical energy will convert 60 watts to energy in the form of light and 40 watts to energy in the form of heat.

This is a hypothetical scenario, idk the real efficiency of a light bulb is low but not exact numbers.
then you can write equations for energy, Luke this one.
100 watts electric = 60 watts light + 49 watts heat

Energy can only be transformed. You cannot destroy energy or create it. For example, the potential energy when you have something sitting on a desk doesn't disappear once it falls off. It gets TRANSFORMED into kinetic energy. This happens constantly. Energy, the ability to do work or cause a change, is always being reused in different forms. Hope this helped!

Solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy<br> are examples of<br> resources.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Renewable Energy Resources.

Explanation:

Unlike fossil fuels which cannot be recovered when destroyed, these sources of energy can be recovered by a means of recycling . Recycling here reduces solid wastes which is one of the causes of land pollution.

Hydroelectric schemes can only be built in mountain regions where rainfall and rivers are plentiful which involves upset of aquatic ecosystem. This poses a dangerous pollution problem though.

Wind generators and solar panels are not very efficient energy producers. However, future schemes for producing solar energy via solar satellites are promising.

Write a brief report about what causes cancer cells to develop.
a_sh-v [17]
In order to study the formation of cancer cells, you should study the life cycle of normal cells as cancer cells are abnormal cells. 

Actually, Normal cells grow, divides and died after an interval of time. And when this process is break down, cancer cells begin to form. They are usually old cells which don't die after their life cycle.

Hope this helps!
