Photosynthesis and Semi-Conductor based Solar Cells Plants‚ by shear desire to survive have developed the worlds most efficient and reliable power supply by way of photosynthesis. Scientist for years have tried unsuccessfully to duplicate the process of photosynthesis. However‚ for the purpose of this paper‚ I will compare and contrast how energy and electricity is generated through photosynthesis and a semi-conductor based solar cell. In addition‚ this paper will explain how both processes

In 1962‚ Everett Rogers proposed that the life cycle of innovations can be described using the “s-curve” or diffusion curve. The s-curve maps growth of revenue or productivity against time.

crash and therefore creating a smaller deceleration and then making the total force of the crash smaller. This total force being less puts less stress on the body and allows for an increase in likelihood of surviving an accident. SEMI-RIGID BARRIERS Semi rigid barriers such as energy absorbing guard rails are like the flexible barriers as they don’t completely stop the crash but only absorb force from it. These barriers are designed to redirect the car back onto the road with limited damage
