30s - Q2
An example of an energy transformation is photosynthesis in plants converts solar energy to chemical energy. The plants convert sunlight into sugar to grow.
truefalseTrue or False30s - Q3
What is the difference between a series and parallel circuit?
A series circuit is a circuit that has more than one load, but only one path that the electrons flow through. A parallel circuit contains multiple paths.
A series circuit is a circuit that has more one load, yet two paths that the electrons flow through. A parallel circuit contains a single path.
A series circuit is a circuit that has more than one load, and at least 3 paths that the electrons flow through. A parallel circuit contains a maximum of two paths.
A series circuit is a circuit that has one load and one path that the electrons flow through. A parallel circuit contains multiple loads but only one path.
