Do you agree that the fossil fuel that people use for energy is produced by the process of photosynthesis?

Yes. Plants obtain energy via photosynthesis and store that energy in the form of carbohydrates. Sometimes when a plant dies it gets buried deep enough heat and pressure inside the earth converts the plant tissue into what we know as fossil fuels, with the same energy stored in the molecules.

Carbon in fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of?
Fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of photosynthesis.
How do deforestation fire and combustion of fossil fuels disrupt the balance between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Since deforestation and photosynthesis involve plants, a tree is a plant and trees have leaves.Leaves are needed in order for photosynthesis to occur.Without them there would be no photosynthesis
How did plants and animals get their energy before coming fossil fuels?
Same way they get energy now. Plants get energy from sunlight via photosynthesis and animals get energy from eating plants and other animals.
What are the examples of chemical energy?
Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or to transform other chemical substances. Examples of chemical energy are: the digestive process, batteries, photosynthesis, burning gasoline, burning wood, using TNT, fire works, putting salt on a slug, alcohol, fermentation, and rusting.
How energy transformed when fossil fuels are used?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
Is it true that fossil fuel that people use for energy is produced by the process of photosynthesis?
Yes, Fossil fuels are plants that have died millions of years ago and degraded into their elemental components over the course of that time. Plants create their energy from photosynthesis, thus those long dead plants had at one time created that energy by photosynthesis.
Carbon in fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of?
Fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of photosynthesis.
How can fossil fuels be used as solar energy?
The hydrocarbons used in the fossil fuel are the product of photosynthesis, that took place in the plants of carboniferous age. Since photosynthesis require solar energy, these fossil fuels have also been derived from solar energy.
What do fossil fuels contain from the Sun's radiant energy via photosynthesis?
Chemical Energy
Forty percent of all the commercial energy produced in the world is produced from?
35% of the world's commercial energy is produced from coal
How is most energy in the US produced?
fossil fuels
Why we depend on the sun for energy?
Because it is sunlight that powers photosynthesis (producing all the food we eat) and fossil sunlight that is the energy contained in fossil fuels.
Why do we depend on the sun for energy?
Because it is sunlight that powers photosynthesis (producing all the food we eat) and fossil sunlight that is the energy contained in fossil fuels.
Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?
Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.
What is Energy that is not produced by burning fossil fuels or wood?
This kind of energy is called renewable energy.
How are fossil fuels an indirect form of solar energy?
Fossil fuels are an indirect form of solar energy because solar energy was used to sustain the plant life,through photosynthesis, that is now now part of the fossil fuels.
Are fossil fuels produced the same geological process as in the past?
Yes.
