Michael planted a tomato plant that produces very juicy tomatoes. When the tomatoes began to ripen, Michael picked a tomato to eat in a salad. Michael ate the
salad with the tomato at lunch. Later that afternoon, he ran 2 miles during PE and was
sweating at the finish line. How many total energy transformations does this scenario
demonstrate?
1 (potential to kinetic)
2 (chemical to potential,
potential to thermal)
3 (solar to chemical, chemical
to kinetic, kinetic to thermal)
4(chemical to potential
potential to kinetic, kinetic to
nuclear, nuclear to thermal)

3 (solar to chemical, chemical to kinetic, kinetic to thermal)

Explanation:

Michael ate a salad. The salad which he consumes becomes chemical energy, but the tomato he put in his salad has used solar energy, which is simply energy from the sun. The kinetic energy is when he runs 2 miles as kinetic energy is the energy gained from movement. When he stops running, he sweats, which means he is losing heat from his body, therefore the kinetic energy store transfers to the thermal (internal) energy store.

I hope this helps!! ^-^

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
