In a hydroelectric plant the mechanical energy in moving water is transformed into?
Into electrical energy.
Can a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant makes energy?
Well, no. A turbine does not MAKE energy. It changes one form of energy to another. A Pelton turbine in a hydroelectric plant changes the weight and force of falling water to rotary mechanical energy, which is used to turn a generator. That changes mechanical energy to electrical energy. But none of that MAKES energy.
How does a diesel power plant works?
A diesel powerplant uses the diesel power cycle for energy generation. A diesel power plant is one using a diesel engine to run a generator coupled to it. A generator produces power when it rotates.
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
Why is building a desalination plant costly?
It is due to the amount of energy needed to run a desalination plant, as well as the fines that have to be paid due to the amount of air pollution a desalination plant gives out.
What are three energy conversions that might occur in a power plant?

What must a plant have for photosynthisis to occur?
Sunlight mostly because it is the energy the plant uses
What kind of energy is increase when earthquakes occur?
Thermal Energy is the success of this neutral plant
When does plant respiration occur?
During the day, or any time there is usable radiation energy available to drive the process of photosynthesis in the plant.
What are some examples of energy conversions from potential to kinetic?
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
What happens when energy transformations occur in a coal fired power plant during the production of electricity?
nothing
Name the type of energy that is required for photosynthesis to occur?
An elementary-level answer would be : chemical and light energy Light energy from the sun Chemical from the plant itself. light would be when the sun gives its light to help the plant grow like a light bulb, and chemical is like the plant taking the water, and soil and using it and the plant itself is chemical
Why might a fish kill occur at the effluent discharge of a power plant?
This is due to polluted residual waters.
What is the energy efficiency of a typical nuclear power plant?
The energy efficiency of a typical nuclear power plant varies, depending on its design, but a typical value might be around 33%.
What might happen if a plant could not make its own food energy?
It would die!
What plant cell organelles does photosynthesis occur in and what are the raw materials energy used?
chloroplast and the reactants used are CO2 and H2O
How does light effect how a plant grows?
Yes. The more sunlight it gets, the higher it grows.Light provides the energy required for photosysnthesis to occur
