Energy Flow Robert Green 1/9/15 SCI/275 Christina Kamnikar Energy Flow After reviewing figure 4-10 presented in chapter 4 of Environmental Science‚ it is easy to recognize the different trophic levels. Each trophic level shows how energy and biomass flow through a food chain however it is eventually lost as heat. These levels consist of: biomass of producers‚ those consumed‚ and those not consumed. The first trophic level has the producers which graze the food chain‚ grazers consist of the

there is also an ever mounting need for energy. Energy appears to have reactivated energy to a liquid fuel like petrol. This is likely to be exhausted in the course of a few years ea man is using it. Electricity and when toil resources cannot keep everybody up with the problem of conservation of energy. To meet the challenge various methods have been suggested. One Is to res the demand.

Summary Nowadays‚ some people who supported renewable energy have many questions for fully relying on renewable energy in the future. A factor why people do not consider renewable energy is economics. However‚ the fact is that renewable energy can solve many economic problems. Anna Leidreiter expresses that the benefits of traditional energy are shared in only a few stakeholders; renewable energy is owned by popular‚ so the big business do not agree renewable energy. If the benefits from the

Bomani’s work has a set of guidelines which it must follow. In order to be truly Green‚ Bomani’s fuel must be Sustainable‚ Alternative and Renewable. Meaning that it must have a low carbon footprint‚ it must be cheap to produce‚ and it cannot use valuable resources. Bomani’s talk is not only informative‚ but shows the direction

assess personal energy use and speak about the forms of energy that I currently rely on and the sources they originate from. It also talks about renewable energy sources that would be most and least appropriate to use in a certain location. Then it refers to the advantages and disadvantages of the energy source that I currently use‚ also about renewable ones that have been identified. The last part of the paper addresses energy conservation and its impacts on the environment. Energy is embodied in

In case study number one‚ a board member of The Energy Cooperative would like to call his own personal potential clients and be able to state‚ “I am calling as a director of The Energy Cooperative.” The following paper will analyze the ethical issues surrounding the use of such a statement from five different ethical theories. These particular theories come from Immanuel Kant‚ John Stuart Mill‚ John Locke‚ John Rawls‚ and Lawrence Kohlberg. Finally‚ there will be a solution that the board should
