our energy and power sources. Green energy is a term used for sources of power and energy that are environmentally friendly. Basically this includes anything that is renewable energy. Renewable energy is considered energy that is constantly being replaced such as wood‚ vegetable matter‚ and trash. Green energy ’s main focus is to use sources that can cut down on pollution. Some of these sources of power and energy are Biomass energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydropower‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ wind

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

body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. (P4) In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body‚ the Respiration system and the Digestive system. I will start off by giving a definition of energy metabolism in the body. Metabolism in the body is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body’s cells. Metabolism converts the nutrients in the food that we eat in to essential energy which

Nuclear Energy There are many advantages and disadvantages of using nuclear power. Nuclear power is said to prevent power outages that happen in areas without nuclear power. For an example‚ if we were using hydroelectricity and the dam suddenly malfunctions‚ then we won’t have electricity until someone fixes the dam‚ and that would be difficult if it happened in the middle of the night. However‚ on the other hand‚ nuclear power is also considered toxic and it pollutes the Earth with harmful and

Whenever I think back to highschool I am always reminded of the fun times I had playing sports. The friendships I built and diciplines I learned still affect my life today. Playing volleyball helped me learn good time management skills especially when I started playing for the local club team. The highschool team was demanding but when club season started that became your life. School‚ practice‚ homework‚ sleep was my weekday schedule. The weekend tournaments didn’t allow for much of a break either

How many times should a volleyball players shoe come off while playing? You would assume zero and you are correct but that is not what happened to me. It was a hot sunny Saturday morning in the Downtown Phoenix area. My team and I were at the Talking Stick Resort Arena for our regional volleyball tournament. After we were checked in we started to get on our shoes‚ jerseys and kneepads. Even if unexpected things happen or mess me up‚ I still love playing volleyball. It all started when the referees

For example‚ the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly‚ a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position. When assuming

Conserving energy is very important because there is a limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources available on earth such as coal‚ oil‚ and gas. If people do not conserve the nonrenewable resources we have now‚ there might not be any left for future generations. In addition‚ energy conservation is important because when nonrenewable energy sources are consumed this impacts the environment. The combustion of oil‚ gas‚ and coal in power stations produces carbon dioxide and contributes to global
