The picture illustrates the solar panels that power all of the appliances in Joshua's house. What energy transformations occur that enable Joshua to bake cookies for his family in the oven? (1 point)

Responses

light energy → electrical energy → chemical energy
light energy → electrical energy → chemical energy

light energy → electrical energy → heat energy
light energy → electrical energy → heat energy

heat energy → chemical energy → light energy
heat energy → chemical energy → light energy

heat energy → light energy → heat energy

1 answer

The correct response is:

light energy → electrical energy → heat energy

In this transformation, solar panels convert light energy (from the sun) into electrical energy. This electrical energy is then used to power the oven, which generates heat energy to bake the cookies.
