Answer:

The correct answer is - A) nuclear.

Explanation:

Most of the non-renewable sources of energy are fossil fuels that are formed by the thermal decomposition of dead organic matter for million years and are converted to lighter hydrocarbons that contain high electrostatic potential energy.

Burning is the process that breaks the hydrocarbons into water vapor and CO2 with high amount of energy. Coal, natural gas and biofuels all three are fossil fuels and nuclear products are not fossil fuel but radioactive elements.

What is the function of the NADH/FADH molecules?
klio [65]
NADH is a crucial coenzyme in making ATP. It exists in two forms in the cell: NAD+ and NADH. The first form, NAD+, is called the oxidized form. When a molecule is in an oxidized state, it means it can accept electrons, tiny negatively charged particles, from another molecule. After it gets the electrons, it has a negative charge, so it also picks up a hydrogen atom from the surrounding environment, since hydrogen atoms are positively charged. Now, we have the reduced form, or NAD

The plants in a red-tailed hawk’s food chain produce 3 million kcal of chemical energy per day. How much energy is available to
KATRIN_1 [288]

The amount of total energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through, so 90% is lost at each level. This means that only 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; and the rest is lost as heat.  

In this case, if a plant ecosystem has 3000000 kilocalories (kcal) of energy, about 300000 kcal will be transferred to primary consumers (for example grass hoppers). If the red-tailed hawks are tertiary consumers, they will get 3000 kcal of energy.
