Biomass generators produce electricity. They use plant-based fuels such as wood chips and corn husks. The fuel is burned to heat water and create steam. The steam causes turbines to spin. The spinning blades produce electricity.
Which sequence of energy transformations is described in the passage?
A. Chemical energy -> thermal energy -> mechanical energy
B. Thermal energy -> chemical energy -> mechanical energy
C. Chemical energy -> mechanical energy -> thermal energy
D. Thermal energy -> mechanical energy -> chemical energy
Answer (2)
The energy transformations in biomass generators occur as chemical energy from plant-based fuels is transformed into thermal energy through combustion, and then into mechanical energy as steam drives turbines to generate electricity. The selected answer is Option A .
;
The correct sequence of energy transformations in biomass generators is chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy. This describes how plant-based fuels are converted into electricity. The answer aligns with Option A. ;
