Question

The picture shows solar panels that power all appliances in this house.An oven is being used to bake cookies in this house. What energy transformations occur when baking cookies in this house?(1 point)Responsesheat energy → light energy → chemical energyheat energy → light energy → chemical energylight energy → electrical energy → heat energylight energy → electrical energy → heat energyheat energy → chemical energy → light energyheat energy → chemical energy → light energyheat energy → electrical energy → chemical energy

Answer 1

When baking cookies in a house powered by solar panels, the energy transformations that occur are as follows:

1. Light energy from the sun is converted to electrical energy by the solar panels.
2. This electrical energy powers the oven.
3. The oven then converts this electrical energy into heat energy to bake the cookies.
4. During the baking process, the heat energy causes the chemical reactions in the cookie dough to occur, transforming it into baked cookies.

Therefore, the correct sequence of energy transformations is:

light energy → electrical energy → heat energy → chemical energy.

Since that specific pathway is not listed, the most accurate response based on the typical transformations involved is light energy → electrical energy → heat energy.

If the focus is solely on the act of baking, leading to the final product (cookies), one could say that the baking process ends with chemical energy in the form of the baked cookies, but the most relevant response among the options provided is:

light energy → electrical energy → heat energy.
