Without the sun’s energy, all living things would die. Especially in the tropical rainforest the sun is essential for survival. Without the sun, plants would not survive and life as we know it would cease to exist. (Choi, 2012). As an alternate form of energy, plants will use the sun, chlorophyll, water, carbon dioxide and nutrients in order to manufacturer glucose. (UCSB Science Line). Tropical rainforests can be found in Africa, Asia, Australia and Central and South America. The Amazon

how the digestive system and the respiratory are linked to energy metabolism in the body. I am addressing this to explain what the energy system is and how it functions the only way I can describe it is through explain the digestive, respiratory and cardiovascular system work and how they link together. This topic is really important as without energy we would be able to function or survive. There are 3 body systems involved with energy. The first system is the digestive system, the teeth mash up

Believe it or not, in the desert area, the energy that supports residents’ daily lives is alternative energy. For example, Southern Nevada heavily relies on alternative energy such as the solar energy, wind energy, water energy, geothermal energy, etc. In a dry area like Nevada, many of the residents say that solar energy is the best solution. The supporters say the reason to support alternative energy is that it brings huge economic benefits and job opportunities to Southern Nevada. Besides that

23, 2014 America Should Switch to Nuclear Energy from Fossil Fuels America currently mainly uses fossil fuels as its main source of energy. America should switch to nuclear energy as an alternative to fossil fuel energy. The most common fossil fuels used today are oil, coal, and natural gas. These sources of energy are being depleted and America will soon have to find a new source of energy. The future is facing towards nuclear power. Nuclear energy is more efficient, it is a cleaner burning fuel
