Running Head: Energy Conversion Energy Conversion Marlon Walker Professor Abdul Kahn SCI 110: Integrated Science October 21‚ 2011 Abstract Energy conversion has been a topic of debate and research for many years. Scientists conduct experiments in hopes of finding an alternative to relying on burning fossil fuels for electricity. While companies who believe their alternative is the best choice‚ debate over whose source is the “greenest”. Whether it be biomass‚ hydroelectricity‚ solar

Renewable energy Renewable energy is any source of energy that doesn ’t consume the finite resources of the Earth and can be easily and quickly replenished. At present only a small proportion of the world ’s energy needs come from alternative and renewable energy sources. These exist in many forms including Solar Thermal‚ Photovoltaics‚ Wind‚ Hydro‚ Tidal/Wave and Bioenergy (including Biomass‚ Biogas and Biofuels). As with fossil fuels the sun ’s energy is the ultimate source of these energies.

McKenzie Smith Science 8-5 February 10‚ 2011 RSV Final Draft Energy Pathways This reading is about food chains‚ food webs‚ and food pyramids. The sun is the source of energy in a food chain. The energy from the sun can only be used by producers. The producers get eaten by consumers. A consumer is a herbivore‚ a carnivore‚ or an omnivore. Fungi and decay bacteria are decomposers. Decomposers break down and recycle dead things and make the soil better for producers. Food webs are the overlapping

SOLAR ENERGY Our environment is in a fatal state any move could cost us the world. We need to work with the environment and not against it‚ we need to use what it is giving us every day and not every million year‚ once it is gone it is gone. Instead of using fossil fuels and having them burn to waste use solar energy and use what the sun gives us every day. Solar energy is an effective alternative source because there is very little pollution‚ they cut down on fossil fuels and are cost effective
