Concept explainers
To analyze: The price of energy and its real costs. The study of the factors involved in the hidden environmental costs that are not reflected in the real price of the fossil fuels. Also determine the appropriate costs and prices of oil by the manufacturers and investors of shares in the company.
Introduction: The price of setting up various big industries is very costly and expensive for the manufacture of the goods and products. The machines which are manufactured and established in the companies require a tremendous investment from the businessmen and share holding partners. It depends upon appropriate investment policies with genuineness in the partnership relationships. The exhaust of these industries is a serious environmental threat along with the dumping of the toxic byproducts into the rivers and oceans, which causes a threat to the existing species of plants and animals.

- In regards to energy power, what are issues associated with the environment and quality of life?arrow_forwardApproximately how much of the energy taken in by a consumer is used to make more biomass? Group of answer choices a. 80% b. 100% c. 60% d. 0% e. 10%arrow_forwardThe graph is here to help answer the question. Right now, a lot of biofuel is made from corn grain. If society were to switch to biofuels made from grass, which of the following statements correctly states the overall difference in energy input per hectare of crop? A. Society would use about the same amount of energy in crop growth. B. Society would use about 90% more energy per hectare of crop. C. Society would use about 90% less energy per hectare of crop.arrow_forward
- In a pond ecosystem, mosquito larvae feed on photosynthetic algae. Other larvae, such as dragonfly larvae, feed on the mosquito larvae. The dragonfly larvae are, in turn, consumed by fish, whichcan be preyed upon by raccoons.How many different organisms in this ecosystem get their energy from the food they consume?1. One2.TWO3.Three4.Fourarrow_forwardNonrenewable Energy sources - impact on the environment What is the environment impact of coal? Include coal mining, transport, and use What is the environment impact of crude oil? Include drilling, transport, and usearrow_forwardIn what ways do consumers depend on producers? on decomposers? Include energy considerations in your answer.arrow_forward
- What is the positive and negative the fossil fuels?arrow_forwardGiven how energy flows through an ecosystem what would be the most energy efficient diet choice to support a human population of 9 billion people?arrow_forwardEnergy conservation may offer considerable health co-benefits, what are some of the health benefits? what are some pros and cons?arrow_forward
- What is global warming? How does the burning of fossil fuels contribute to global warming? Explain the important consequences of global warming.? Note: you write research sourcesarrow_forwardA producer creates 1000 grams of carbohydrates. According to the 10% rule of energy transfer, how much of the original 1000 grams of carbohydrates would be lost as heat by a secondary consumer? A. 9 grams B. 80 grams C. 100 grams D. 110 gramsarrow_forwardFossil fuels contain the carbon and energy of organisms that have been dead for a very long time—in some cases, for millions of years. Biofuels, in contrast, are fuels that are made from recently living organisms, usually plants. Since biofuels come from living plants, the carbon dioxide released from burning biofuels is part of the modern-day carbon cycle. All of the following statements are true statements about biofuels. Select which statements are negatives of using biofuels as a primary source of energy. Check all that apply. A. With limited agricultural land, growing crops for biofuel might compete with growing crops for food. B. The carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is carbon dioxide that was recently taken out of the atmosphere, so it does not overload the carbon cycle. C. Large-scale agriculture needed to grow plants for large amounts of biofuel may be damaging to the environment in other ways.arrow_forward
