Answer:

The pressure of the steam turns a generator, which produces electricity. The difference is in how the heat is created. Power plants that run on fossil fuels burn coal, oil or natural gas to generate heat. In a nuclear energy plant, heat is produced from splitting atoms – a process called nuclear fission.

SUNLIGHT
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

"without light energy from the sun, photosynthesis would still occur" is completely false. Light energy is needed for the light-dependent reactions, or simply the light reactions, of photosynthesis.

"oxygen is an input into photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is an output" is also completely false. It is the opposite.

These statements are true, however:

SUNLIGHT

CARBON DIOXIDE

WATER

MINERALS

OXYGEN

PLANT SUGARS

Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes) in the leaves.

Sunlight is an input, CO2 is an input, water is an input (taken in through the roots, transported through the veins), minerals are a collective input, oxygen is an output (produced during photolysis), and plant sugars are an output (glucose, for an example).

It's considered to be an advantage to have lungs with increased capacity, because with increased capacity
matrenka [14]
<span>Having more lung capacity is advantageous because the lungs can expand more. More air in the lungs will fill all the alveoli (air sacs in the lungs) and allow more oxygen to enter the bloodstream via the capillaries that surround the air sacs. Excess waste (such as carbon dioxide) is also transferred from the blood to the air to be exhaled. As lungs fill, more gas exchange can occur.</span>
