Question 3 (1 point)
a
Solar panels that heat water trap energy from the air to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources.
b
Solar panels that heat water use the Sun's radiant energy to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources.
c
Solar panels that heat water use the Sun's thermal energy to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources.
d
Solar panels that heat water use electricity from the home to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources.

Todd's teacher told him that the gas used to power cars is a natural resource and would run out in the future, and he could help to conserve this natural resource by ________________.
a
using a gas-powered car
b
using an electric-powered car
c
Solar panels that heat water use the Sun's thermal energy to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources.
Solar panels that heat water use the Sun's radiant energy to reduce the need for non-renewable energy sources.
True
False
False.
Solar panels that heat water use the Sun's thermal energy, not radiant energy, to heat the water. The panels absorb the Sun's thermal energy and transfer that energy to the water, which reduces the need for non-renewable energy sources to heat the water.
Leaving the lights on when they are not being used is a good way to conserve resources.
True
False
False.
Leaving the lights on when they are not being used is a waste of resources and can lead to increased energy consumption. Conserving resources involves using them efficiently and responsibly, which includes turning off lights and other appliances when they are not needed.
