Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

Explanation:

Wind energy, or wind power, is created using a wind turbine, a device that channels the power of the wind to generate electricity. The wind blows the blades of the turbine, which are attached to a rotor. The rotor then spins a generator to create electricity . Wind energy is a renewable energy source that is clean and has very few environmental challenges. Wind power actually starts with the Sun. In order for the wind to blow, the Sun first heats up a section of land along with the air above it. That hot air rises since a given volume of hot air is lighter than the same volume of cold air. Cooler air then rushes in to fill the void left by that hot air and voila: a gust of wind. The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy describes a wind turbine as “the opposite of a fan.” Simply stated, the turbine takes the energy in that wind and converts it into electricity. So how does it do that? First, the wind applies pressure on the long slender blades, usually 2 or 3 of them, causing them to spin, much like the wind pushes a sailboat along its path through the water. The spinning blades then cause the rotor, or the conical cap on the turbine, and an internal shaft to spin as well at somewhere around 30 – 60 revolutions per minute. The ultimate goal is to spin an assembly of magnets in a generator which will, well, generate voltage in a coil of wire thanks to electromagnetic induction. Generators require faster revolutions, however, so a gear box typically connects this lower speed shaft to a higher speed shaft by increasing the spin rate to around 1000 to 1800 revolutions per minute. These gear boxes are costly as well as heavy, so engineers are looking to design more “direct-drive” generators that can work at the lower speeds.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

How do nutrients move through an environment? What drives the movement of nutrients?

My answer 6b: Nutrients are often transported across the environment by migrating from the physical environment into living creatures and then being recycled back into the physical environment. For example, an animal could receive nutrition by eating plants. To stay alive, the animal uses the chemical energy gained from the food. When the animal dies, the nutrients in its body return to the soil and are re-absorbed by plants. The transport of nutrients in the ecosystem is driven by nutrient cycles.

Which of the following statements is true concerning catabolic pathways?
marysya [2.9K]

The options are incorrect. The correct question with options is:

Which of the following statements is true concerning catabolic pathways?

A. They combine molecules into more energy-rich molecules

B. They supply energy, primarily in the form of ATP, for the cell's work

C. They are endergonic

D. They are spontaneous and do not need enzyme catalysis

E. They build up complex molecules such as protein from simpler compounds

Answer:

B. They supply energy, primarily in the form of ATP, for the cell's work

Explanation:

Catabolic pathways are the metabolic pathways that breakdown the complex molecules into simpler substances. The chemical reactions of catabolic pathways are mostly exergonic with a negative value of free energy change.

The released energy is stored in the form of ATP molecules. The energy-releasing reactions of catabolic pathways supply the cells with ATP molecules to perform the functions. For instance, breakdown of glucose into CO2 and H2O during aerobic cellular respiration is a catabolic process and forms as many as 32 ATP molecules.
